For 61 years we have been helping our neighbors in Paradise, Magalia, and all over Butte County through those very difficult times that we all must face, the loss of a loved one. For Sixty-One years now our family has dedicated themselves to being here when you need us.

Our family lives and works right here on the ridge, so we understand our obligation to our friends and neighbors clearly and with compassion. You can find comfort in the knowledge that from the moment we receive your loved one and throughout the process of finalizing their wishes, each step is handled with great care and respect. We are a complete full service funeral home facility including a spacious comfortable chapel, visitation retreats, crematory on site, embalming facilities, and full casket selection rooms. Your loved one will not have to be transported or handled by anyone else, we know how important that is to people.

Here at Paradise Chapel of the Pines we strive to give back to our community what we have received from it, a fine place to live with people who are willing to help others. When deciding on which funeral home you wish to use, we suggest you look at the things we mentioned above and make informed decisions.

We also offer cemetery monuments, burial vaults, and urn vaults. As licensed Funeral Directors and licensed Insurance Agents, we are dedicated to helping those we serve with all the professional services and products that you have come to expect from a full service mortuary.
