A contemporary funeral home and event center

Comforting and versatile, Funeraria Del Angel^® Bakersfield Central is a welcoming space for traditional services and modern life celebrations. Families can honor their loved ones in ways that feel personal and meaningful. In addition to funerals and memorials, our flexible spaces can accommodate a range of events—from receptions and parties to community gatherings. The reception room seats about 60 guests, while the chapel comfortably holds up to 100.

As you step through the arched doors into our bright, light-filled lobby, a friendly associate will be there to greet you with a warm smile. Clean lines, large windows and a modern aesthetic create an uplifting atmosphere, and there’s ample parking right on-site.

Personalized memorials and celebrations of life

At Funeraria Del Angel Bakersfield Central, we believe that every service should be as unique as the life lived. We capture the essence of your loved one to create an event that reflects your special person and gives friends and family a chance to come together and remember.

Perhaps it’s a barbecue in honor of the pit master, complete with live music and bottles of homemade sauce for guests to take home. Maybe it's a garden-themed party for a beloved green thumb or a quiet outdoor scattering ceremony. No matter your wish, no matter the detail, we handle it all.

Whether you want to arrange a large, multicultural gathering or an intimate event with only close family and friends, we will work with you one-on-one to ensure your needs and budget are met. From floral arrangements to music selections, catering to decor, mementos and more, we guide you through your choices with care.

Cremation in Bakersfield

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

• a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
• a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
• a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways. We offer families the opportunity to spend time with their loved ones before cremation, expertise in scattering ashes and the option for home or mail delivery of ashes.

We work with all area cemeteries to plan memorialization. For those who wish for something more momentous, Neptune Memorial Reef^® is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.

There are many cremation providers from which to choose. Here’s what you can expect when you plan with us:

• Custody of care guaranteed. Our identification pendant and custody-of-care program help safeguard the identification of your loved one.
• Exclusive custody of your loved one. Once your loved one is in the care of a Dignity Memorial^® provider or trusted partner, they’re in our care until they’re returned to your family.
• Licensed, certified, conscientious staff. All Dignity Memorial crematorium operators in California are licensed and certified by the Cremation Association of North America, or CANA. Unless there are special circumstances and your family has requested otherwise, only one person at a time is cremated.

Planning in advance

In addition to assisting with an immediate need, Funeraria Del Angel Bakersfield Central specializes in working with families to make final arrangements in advance. When you plan ahead, you relieve your family from financial and emotional burdens while ensuring your wishes are fulfilled. We offer in-person and virtual consultations, as well as a free Personal Planning Guide.

Grief support and aftercare

The loss of a loved one can be devastating, and many people don’t know where to turn or how to cope. We’re here to help you during difficult times—you aren’t alone. Though the experience of grief can be very isolating, the articles in our grief library can make a difference in your day-to-day life, and families who plan services with us get access to our 24-hour Compassion Helpline^® (services provided by Charles Nechtem Associates) for up to 13 months after a service.

Schedule a visit

With compassion, integrity and dignity, our dedicated team offers exceptional service at what can be a difficult time.

We can show you around in person or virtually.
