Our Caring Staff

When someone we love dies, the stress and anxiety of making final arrangements can be an overwhelming responsibility. At the time of death, there are countless things that must be done, over 50 decisions that need to be made. Most people have no idea what's involved, what the costs are, and what final arrangements their loved one would have wanted. You need a trusted friend to offer experience in making funeral or cremation arrangements that will satisfy your wishes, your traditions and your financial needs. The staff members of Alameda Family are caring professionals who are committed to understanding your individual needs, traditions and customs.

Jessica Baptiste

4th Gen. FD2757, EMB9133, CM778

I am very proud to be the fourth generation in the Alameda Family to become a Mortician. My great grandfather worked very hard to build our business and my mother and I work diligently to keep true to his legacy. I attended Chico State where I obtained a degree in Business Administration with Accounting before attending the Mortuary Science program at American River College. It was my intention to learn every aspect of the business; both administration and operation. My attention to detail is essential in the preparation and embalming process. I am very patient, knowledgable and kind which allows me to assist families in making their final arrangements and help to facilitate their loved ones services. I am very blessed to have the opportunity to help guide families during their difficult time. When I am not at work I enjoy life by living a healthy lifestyle which includes a healthy diet and lots of exercise!
