It's not unusual for cemetaries to attract tourists. They flock to Pere-Lachaise in Paris to see the tombs of Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde. Forest Lawn in Glendale is the final resting place for entertainment luminaries like Humphrey Bogart and Michael Jackson. And a similar but much less well-known attraction sits at the end of a busy street in Oakland, past boutiques and up-scale coffee joints. We pay a visit to the Chapel of the Chimes columbarium.
