Our family had a truly positive experience with Thompson Funeral Home during one of the most difficult times in our lives. The staff was compassionate, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail from start to finish.
They took the time to walk us through all of our options, answered every question with patience, and made sure our loved one was honored in a beautiful and respectful way. Their kindness and understanding helped ease so much of the stress that comes with planning services.
The facility on International Blvd is clean, peaceful, and welcoming, creating a comforting space for family and friends to gather and remember. Everything was handled smoothly and with dignity.
We are so grateful for the care and support we received and would highly recommend Thompson Funeral Home to anyone in the Oakland area in need of thoughtful and professional funeral services.

Thompson’s Funeral Home provided an exceptional service for my father. Their team was incredibly professional and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, specifically allowing us the space to apply a custom Bay Area Casket Wrap that truly honored his memory. Big Oakland Raiders Fan.
The staff's attention to detail and respectful coordination made a difficult day much easier for our family. Highly recommended for their compassion and flexibility.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Thompson’s Funeral Home and their new owner, Mr. Porter, for the exceptional care and compassion they provided my family during the passing of my uncle in May 2025.
From the very first moment, the ladies who assisted me were absolutely amazing. They were diligent, kind, and incredibly friendly. They guided me through every step of the process, making sure I had everything I needed to create a beautiful service. They also referred me to all the right places to ensure every detail came together perfectly.
On the day of the service, the staff went above and beyond. They arrived dressed head-to-toe in attire that matched the colors we were wearing, which showed such respect and attention to detail. They handled everything with care, professionalism, and grace. Their presence brought comfort to my entire family, and they made sure the service was everything we hoped it would be.
Thank you, Mr. Porter and the entire Thompson’s Funeral Home staff, for your compassion, your professionalism, and the heartfelt support you gave us during such a difficult time. My family and I are truly grateful.

We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate and professional funeral services.
★★★★★Just recently had my dad's service set up through Thompson's. There's a new owner, Mr. Porter. His staff along with himself made sure to accommodate the large attendance we were expecting. I appreciate the help from Mr. Porter and his team. Without them it wouldnt have been possible. Thank you again.
