Santa Clara Cemetery

It was a horrible experience. Maintenance workers made it a point to accost my wife & I because we were attempting to clean & touch up my mother's gravestone. It had deteriorated so badly that you could no longer read the inscription. & the surrounding gravesites were in really bad shape as well. Some were completely covered with weeds & debris, making it impossible to know where some gravesites were located. The weeds had grown over 2 feet high at the east end of the cemetery. The maintenance crew made it a point to use first an edger. & the following day, they showed up with a tractor grass cutter, making sure to pass me closeup to assure that dirt & debris flew in an effort to destroy the newly painted gravestone. I know had I given them some money, they would have stopped & waited another day to let the paint dry. I had made plans to buy a burial site for my wife & I since both my parents, grandparents, brother & sister are buried at Santa Clara. But after dealing with the cemetery's personnel, the lack of respect & outright hostility they exhibited, I told my loved ones that I don't want a gravesite. I don't want them to be held hostage to any abuse by cemetery personnel. Rather, I will be cremated & ashes thrown into the ocean.

Hundreds of dollars worth of flowers were stolen by heartless individuals from my grandmother’s grave. Our family filed a police report and they said this is a widespread issue that the cemetery refuses to address! I beg Santa Clara Cemetery to please increase security - motion sensor lighting, cameras, security guards (they have one who perhaps isn't doing their job…). This is added pain that grieving families should not have to endure!!

I just had a service done for my fiancé’s grandfather here. We were having issues of our own with a slideshow and Salvador and Andrea both stayed late and worked tirelessly to help us get it running. Going beyond their job description. They were on top of everything and so pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a friendly hard working place to help them in their time of need. The place is well kept and beautiful. Seriously I can not say enough great things about this place. Again a huge thank you to Salvador for staying being in his required shift to ensure our family was taken care of and the slideshow was working perfect and a big thank you to Andrea for all her help and kind words.

I love this cemetery clear and nice but you do not went us to take photos I have seen some great photos of the cemetery on line. Anyone that see your note on no photos. People will think that the cemetery is run down.
