I don't think anyone works there. The people who were there a couple years ago were helpful. Maybe…read morethey're closing. It's confusing because you don't talk to people who with there. My mom is passing away and she preplanned with them.

Be very careful in dealing with the Santa Barbara office, in our experience, they're not entirely…read morehonest and ethical. I used them for both parents, and they did a fine job with death certificates and cremains, but seriously overcharged us for the burials at sea and refused to make it right. I initially chose "simple scatterings" (no family present) for my parents as they were unable to speak for themselves (mom had already passed and dad was in memory care). I later found a document stating that their final wishes were to be scattered at sea with immediate family present. I contacted Neptune Society to upgrade their packages, fully expecting there'd rightly be an upcharge. I was initially told that under no circumstances could changes be made. Eventually, after seeing proof of their wishes in writing and consulting Legal, they relented. But instead of charging us the difference between the old and new packages, they insisted we pay for ALL FOUR packages. This immediately struck us as unethical, so we pushed back, but they were insistent, and wouldn't move forward with the death certificate or cremation until we signed. Also, they tried to place the blame on the boat company, saying they're the ones who set the costs, but when I got the receipt from the boat company, I saw they only charged Neptune Society $735 for the burials, while Neptune Society charged us $2788. So, first we were cheated, then lied to. There were other, smaller issues too, which I won't go into as I want to keep this relatively short. Basically, I just want people to know they made a very difficult time much more stressful, and made us feel we couldn't trust the people in whose hands we'd placed our parents care, and that's the exact opposite of what they promise.

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.
