Our Excellent Staff
Berge-Pappas-Smith Chapel of the Angels is located in the heart of Fremont helps families throughout the entire Bay Area and beyond. Our commitment to the families we serve is simple; a full range of personalized funeral, cremation and memorial services at an affordable price.
The Smith family has personally served the Southern Alameda County communities of Fremont, Newark, Union City, Hayward, and Sunol, as well as Milpitas, and the San Jose area since 1976 in the same tradition that Thomas Berge established when he opened the Funeral Home in Fremont in 1913.
