McDermott-Crockett & Associates Mortuary
Santa Barbara’s Oldest Funeral Provider
Established in 1906, McDermott-Crockett Mortuary is Santa Barbara's oldest operating funeral home. It is housed in a historic chapel built in 1875, just younger than the Old Mission Santa Barbara. With over 118 years of dedicated service to the community, our mortuary is committed to providing full-service premier funeral care. Our compassionate and Spanish-speaking staff ensures effective communication and support during challenging times. McDermott-Crockett Mortuary caters to diverse cultural needs, offering multicultural funerals and preparation areas for incense burning, ritual washing, and a Tahara room. For those of the Jewish faith, we can arrange for a shomer.
Our beautiful historic chapel and outdoor venues provide serene settings for commemorations, while our pet-friendly approach recognizes the importance of every family member. At McDermott-Crockett Mortuary, we honor traditions, uphold legacies, and provide the highest level of care during life's most challenging moments.
