 Santa Cruz Memorial, through its two locations, has served the local community since 1862, providing guidance and support for all phases of life. Santa Cruz Memorial Mission Chapel and Oakwood Chapel provide dignified funeral ceremonies in a place where history, beauty and timeless honor quietly reside. Peaceful and serene, Santa Cruz Memorial's well-kept surroundings encompass two private chapels, traditional burial park, family mausoleums, lawn crypts, cremation scattering gardens, and urn garden. Income from the steady growth of carefully managed endowment care funds assures continuing and meticulous care for the beautifully maintained parks.

Above all else, Santa Cruz Memorial is here to offer families solace, compassion and kindness. Although each family we serve may differ in circumstance, we believe that all share these fundamental needs. We provide assistance for memorial services and cremation arrangements, or for traditional services in the desired place of worship. All services take place in quiet, secluded and private chapels away from other families or office personnel. Extensive follow-up support is also available for grieving families.

Our planning program enables individuals to meet with experienced, dedicated counselors to select funeral arrangements and a budget that will ensure the highest level of comfort and affordability, eliminating the pressure, grief and expense of an emergency situation. Our counselors are extremely knowledgeable and open about the methods and techniques that can be selected to create personalized funeral services which reflect individual family values and traditions, and meet complex spiritual, psychological and religious needs.

Santa Cruz Memorial welcomes all families and individuals, regardless of ethnic origin or religious preference, offering convenience and complete arrangements through one entity and no subcontracted services. A variety of payment plans are available, and can be tailored to accommodate special circumstances and individual needs. Both Santa Cruz Memorial Mission Chapel and Oakwood Chapel serve all cemeteries, regardless of where the final resting place will be.
