Chico Cemetery

Chico Cemetery operates at 881 Mangrove Avenue in Chico, maintaining regular weekday hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and offering weekend assistance by appointment. The funeral home maintains a 24-hour answering service for families who need to reach them outside standard business hours. The Chico Cemetery Association organizes monthly tours of the historic cemetery grounds, which can be scheduled by calling the facility directly.

The funeral home is led by the Bracewell family, with staff including Bob Bracewell, Dane Bracewell, and Geoff, who handle arrangements and service coordination. Newton Bracewell handles both traditional funeral services and cremations for families throughout Butte County. The facility includes a mausoleum that receives ongoing maintenance and seasonal decoration.

Review data indicates the funeral home manages death certificate procurement as part of its cremation service process and maintains communication with families throughout the timeline from arrangement through completion. Families who have used the facility for preplanning report that advance arrangements simplified the coordination of services when death occurred months or years later. The business serves the Chico area and surrounding Butte County communities in Northern California.
