✨Celebrating a Century of Service in Sonoma County
At Eggen & Lance Chapel, caring for Sonoma County families has been our calling for generations.
Our Roots Run Deep
The story begins in 1885 with the founding of Santa Rosa Memorial Park, a place of remembrance that became the foundation for the care we continue to provide today.
Eggen & Lance Chapel: Established 1924
A Santa Rosa landmark on Mendocino Avenue, our chapel has offered welcoming spaces for nearly a century. Under William “Bill” Grafe’s leadership beginning in 1986, the mortuary continued to grow while staying rooted in community traditions.
Santa Rosa Mortuary
Our Franklin Avenue location has long provided accessible, personalized funeral, cremation, and green burial services, working closely with Santa Rosa Memorial Park for seamless care.
A Unified Family of Care
In the mid-2000s, our funeral homes joined together as SRMEL, strengthening continuity across Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Cloverdale, and beyond while preserving each location’s unique heritage.

Serving Sonoma County with compassion since 1924 and long before.
