A Peaceful Process, Rooted in Reverence
At Sierra View Funeral Chapel & Crematory, we are honored to support families who follow Buddhist funeral customs. Whether your tradition stems from Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, Tibetan, or other Buddhist lineages, we understand the deep importance of creating a serene and respectful space for final rites and cremation.
Serving Roseville, Sacramento, and surrounding communities, we work closely with families and monks to honor your loved one with compassion, mindfulness, and dignity.
Guiding Families with Understanding and Respect
Each Buddhist tradition has unique customs, but all share a common focus: honoring the impermanence of life and supporting the soul’s peaceful transition.
Our experienced staff can help facilitate the specific rites that are meaningful to your family, including:
- Quiet and reverent preparation of the body in accordance with Buddhist beliefs
- Monk-led chanting or sutra recitations, either onsite or at your preferred temple
- Time for meditation or prayer, allowing loved ones to reflect and offer merit
- Assistance with incense, offerings, and symbolic rituals
- Cremation coordination, with respect for timing and ritual purity
- Return of cremated remains with care and support for post-cremation traditions
We are committed to creating a peaceful environment where family and community can gather, reflect, and honor the life that was lived.
