Santa Cruz Memorial Mission Chapel and Oakwood Chapel have
served the community since 1862. Over a century ago, the Santa
Cruz Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge purchased a
beautiful parcel of land that borders the San Lorenzo River.
The IOOF carried on a tradition of providing dignified funeral
ceremonies which began in the English Guilds of long ago.
According to legend, a group of caring people assured that
orphans and peasants received proper burial. Countrymen
thought this quite odd, hence the name "Odd Fellows". The Odd
Fellowship endeavors to help those in need and we are pledged,
according to an old saying, rooted in the origins of the
membership, to "visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury
the dead and educate the orphan". You will find solace
in a place where history, beauty and dignity quietly reside.
Each family may differ but all families share a need for
compassion and kindness. Santa Cruz Memorial meets your needs
with memorial services in our Mission Chapel, mausoleum and
burial park. We can assist in providing memorial services and
simple cremation arrangements, and because we are non-
sectarian, coordinate traditional services in your place of
worship. Both Santa Cruz Memorial and Oakwood Memorial Chapel
are combination funeral homes and cemeteries offering
convenience, complete arrangements through one person, no
subcontracted services and economy. Our funeral homes serve
all cemeteries, regardless of where the final resting place
will be.
