St. Francis of Assisi Statue
By sculptor Beniamino Bufano
Born on October 15, 1890 he was an Italian American sculptor who created many beautiful works of art throughout Northern California.
Bufano spent close to four years in France, where he bought a large block of stone and carved a statue of St. Francis of Assisi, which he intended as a gift to the city of San Francisco. Once it was finished, the Depression was underway, aesthetic objections were raised by San Franciscans who saw photographs of the work, and more than two decades were to pass before enough money was raised to ship it to California.
We are honored to have his work located on our property and will preserve it for generations to come.

Community Events
We are members of many associations and participate in a wide range of events in our community. It is our honor to be of service to families of all faiths and all are welcome here. We invite you to visit our location to take a tour and learn more about our longstanding history in the community.
Our family has used the services of Chapel Of The Angels twice during our times of need. On both instances they made quick arrangements to retrieve our loved ones, and began the process of caring for them immediately. With regards to our mother, the grave site was clear out on the coast. They took care of the entire processional without any issues. They offer a full range of services and are responsive to all needs and requests. I know the entire family and am impressed with their intregity. I highly recommend Berge-Pappas-Smith Chapel of the Angels.
