Collection: Oakwood Memorial Chapel - Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz Memorial Park has served the community since 1862. It was then that the Santa Cruz Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) Lodge purchased a wonderful plot of land that borders the San Lorenzo River, to carry on the 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.”
One of our latest expansions is our award winning Mariposa Gardens. It is a peaceful garden where families are able to place their loved ones' cremated remains. When it comes to deciding where to place the remains the families have many choices. There are family estates, creek side boulder estates, granite monument niches, and the Spanish fountain plaza.
