Dear Ariosto, I am not sure which local temple you are referring to but the three temples fairly close to you have priests who perform funeral rites and will explain the process. I have visited all three temples (including the Livermore temple on the day the foundation stone was ceremoniously laid - a rare opportunity since it is not often a new temple is built).
Sunnyvale temple, see http://www.sunnyvaletemple.org/ Livermore temple, see http://livermoretemple.org/hints/ Fremont temple, see http://www.fremonttemple.org/ A year ago our dear Ganpathi Mauze passed away suddenly and a Hindu priest from the Sunnyvale temple came and did the funeral rites. I strongly recommend a visit to one of the temples and a meeting with a priest.
