Who we are

Celebrating life since 2017

As a proud member of the San Jose community since 2017, we're honored to help families celebrate their loved ones. We pledge to ensure that every funeral and memorial service is deeply personal, fostering healing and remembrance.

What we stand for

Our promise

Today, tomorrow, and forever, our commitment to you stays the same.

Dignity

Every life is unique, and we promise to honor and respect each journey, crafting ceremonies that reflect each individual.

Guidance

Navigating grief can be overwhelming; we stand by you, providing direction and solace every step of the way.

Legacy

Beyond a service, we're committed to helping families create lasting tributes that transcend generations.

Our story

Sacred Space Memorial was founded with a vision to offer families a more personal and flexible approach to end-of-life services. Recognizing that traditional funeral homes often come with limitations, we set out to create a model that prioritizes the unique needs and wishes of each family.​

Led by founder Barry Bamford, who brings over 35 years of experience in the funeral and cemetery industry, our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care that honors the life and legacy of your loved one. By collaborating with various venues throughout the community, we ensure that each service is as unique as the individual being remembered.​

Our commitment to excellence has been recognized by our community, earning us accolades such as the 'Best of the Bay Area' award and being named one of San Jose's top funeral homes. At Sacred Space Memorial, we are here to support you with integrity, empathy, and personalized care every step of the way.​
