Buddhist Chapel
Bay Area Mortuary has designed and dedicated a chapel for the followers of Buddhism. The architecture is influenced by ideas of worship with red eaves, gold walls, rounded, sky blue ceiling adorned with soft, white clouds. Ornate stained glass windows act as a backdrop to large gold Buddhas, a spectacular, rich epoxy floor, and marble offering tables for candles, flowers, incense, and fruit. There is nothing like it in the Bay Area!
