We follow through with their specific needs and do what it takes to meet any requests or needs that families have. We want all of our families to know that we'll guide them every step of the way and that we're there to help them through their difficult time."

Chapel of the Highlands, The Family-Owned Funeral Home

Some funeral homes in San Mateo County are large operations owned by corporations. That can result in an impersonal experience that leaves some families feeling ignored or hurried. But Chapel of the Highlands has been family owned since Paul Larson's father, Clarence Larson, founded the mortuary in 1952.

Paul saw from an early age how honorable a profession it was to help people feel better in their time of need, and so he followed in his father's footsteps. Even the staff are like family. "We haven't had a change in staff for 10 years, and we know the neighboring families in our local community," Paul Larson adds.

Chapel of the Highlands also has a great reputation in the Millbrae CA community because they're dedicated to helping their hometown. Paul Larson tells us, "We are involved in many service-related activities and organizations in the area. We are focused on volunteerism and giving back to our community." In fact, Paul is the immediate past president of the Millbrae Lions Club and second vice president of the Italian Catholic Federation. They're also part of the Millbrae Historical Society, where Paul is Vice President, and Millbrae Chamber of Commerce, where Paul served as Board Chairman.

This locally-owned, family-run funeral home Chapel of the Highlands helps make funeral arrangements easier with caring knowledgeable staff on-call 24 hours a day, a beautifully serene setting, customized services, and experience going back to 1952. They're located at 194 Millwood Dr, Millbrae CA.
