This was a result of a JUDGMENT entered in the case of People of the State of California v Service Corp International. Look it up. ** All the points in the lawsuit support my complaint about the business practices of Neptune Society. To reiterate, you should do research, read reviews, look at details of this lawsuit before signing with Neptune Society. This is not the same as buying a shirt you don't like and trying to return it.

I am shocked!! I spoke with Jackie about forwarding a sympathy card to the family of a friend who…read morerecently passed and used your business for the services. I just found out he passed and the services have already been held. She said she was unable to do that. Being the oldest funeral home in Santa Barbara, you surely know the importance of customer service and going the extra mile. I am disappointed.

Thanks to McD-C, my father's service was beautiful, dignified, and exactly as he would have wanted it. I would use them again without hesitation, and I recommend them -and Jennifer- very, very highly. In addition, all the area mortuaries seem to charge similarly, so McD-C services are a decent value. I am completely satisfied and thankful for their help.

Probably my favorite cemetery I've ever been to…read more Tons of historic Goletans are interred here. Seems like half the tombstones contain the namesakes of major roads in Goleta or Santa Barbara. Plenty of tombstones here dating back to the mid to late 1800's. Lots of interesting inscriptions. Although it's small, it's very conceivable to spend the better part of a day here looking at all the historic grave markers.

My first visit here was with my Great Uncle, John Dominique. He was an early California artist who…read morelived in Montecito and had a studio in Santa Barbara in the early 20th Century. He was living in Ojai when we would visit him at his home and studio. One visit he said he wanted to go check on his headstone. So we drove from Ojai to Santa Barbara so he would visit his gravesite. It's a few steps from his sister Ellen, who died of the Spanish flu in 1918. It was a tragedy as she was a teacher and had been nursing children who were sick at the time. She contracted influenza and she and her unborn child died in the pandemic. She has a large rough granite headstone . Their parents are also a few more steps away, August & Emma Dominique. Whenever I'm in the area or traveling through, I always stop to visit this serene cliff top sanctuary. It is epically beautiful in all seasons. The chapel is also magnificent with its frescos on the wall. An intimate space to pause for prayers of remembrance.

I've visited many times over the years, and it's a beautiful place, peaceful and green and well maintained. We have two little kids, and they've gone with us a few times, including for the annual Memorial Day ceremony last weekend. It was a nice event, though it might have been a mistake to take small children to see the flyover, which happened a full hour into the speeches. The boys don't totally get death yet, but I'm glad they have a nice place to visit their forebearers. I know my husband and I will be here countless times before we die, and it feels like a particularly good cemetery to rest in eternal peace.
