Ave Maria Memorial Chapel is owned and operated by the Carroll family who has been serving the Watsonville community for 72yrs . Ave Maria is housed in a lovely 9,804-square-foot Spanish-style building that was transformed from a Victorian home into a funeral home in 1941, previously known as Whites Funeral home and Davis Memorial. Our funeral home features two arrangement rooms, three visitation rooms and a reception room. Our guests will find ample parking at our facility, which is conveniently located in downtown Watsonville, just 85 miles southwest of the San Francisco International Airport and 30 miles north of Monterey Bay.
