Piedmont Funeral Services & Mountain View Cemetery
A California native, Jeff grew up in the Bay Area. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. After working at Deloitte & Touche and Nordstrom, he joined Mountain View Cemetery as a consultant in 1989, programming the cemetery's general ledger software. Several years later, he became the cemetery's controller.
Now, as general manager and CEO, his responsibilities include managing both day-to-day operations and future design and development. He is a licensed cemetery manager, cemetery broker, and crematory manager.
Jeff chose to work at Mountain View Cemetery because he found its unique combination of beauty and challenges to solve compelling. His favorite part about his work is designing and developing infrastructure that will bring happiness to the families it serves, while simultaneously preparing the cemetery for generations of success. In his free time, he enjoys photography and art. He's currently learning to play the guitar - badly.
As a San Francisco Bay Area native, Lynn's upbringing in our multi-cultural climate provided her the opportunity to relate to people from many social, economic and ethnic backgrounds.

Her caring and compassionate nature provide comfort to all who come to her for assistance. "My goal is to provide comfort to the families I serve just as if they were my own family."
When helping families who have experienced the death of a loved one, Lynn provides clear options and assists the family through the entire process. Lynn also helps families select and design memorial markers and make preneed funeral plans.
In her spare time, Lynn enjoys photography, hiking and travelling, and spending time with her family.
