    As I walked among the gravestones, I was moved to tears. So many in Kern county served and continue to serve. What a beautiful tribute.

    Beautiful place to spend eternity...

    Set in a quiet valley outside of Bakersfield, it is easy to reach on Hwy 58. The surroundings are lovely. Rolling hills that sweep out and meet the big blue sky. When we visited, the hills eere a rich green, carpeted wigh brite yellow, orange and white wildflowers in full bloom. Really looks like a quiet, lovely plaace to spend eternity...

    The peaceful idyllic setting on Bear Mountain for this well maintained cemetery makes it a calm stop on the long drive to Las Vegas. We were looking for a place to inter the ashes of my father-in-law, who was a career Colonel in the Army. We noticed the grounds when they first started construction, about ten years ago. A friendly groundsman offered us a tour then, and we stopped on our route ever since for a moment to contemplate nature and feel the beauty at the top of the mountain.

    How did I not know this place was here? Had never heard of Bakersfield National Cemetery before. We were in the search for wildflowers so we drove to Arvin. As we drove along Hwy 223 (Bear Mountain Blvd.), Bakersfield National Cemetery came into view. I decided to drive in and sneak a peek. It is a Military cemetery which sits in a beautiful setting very close to Hwy 58. Grounds are immaculate! Very well kept. Truly the loveliest cemetery that I have ever visited.

    Dad would've appreciated this. (Should read "venomous snakes.")

    Full disclosure: the remains of a loved one are interred here. Professional staff and beautiful grounds. National cemeteries are designed to blend into their surrounding landscapes, and this one does so remarkably well. In fact, it doesn't so much draw your attention to the surrounding beauty as it makes you feel that your loved one is now a part of it.

    Staff is very professional. The service for my Father in law was amazing from start to finish.

    Shun and his team provide the most compassionate mortuary service I have ever experienced. They…read moremade sure my nephews home going was exactly as his mother wished from the location to the service. Our singer could not make it at the last minute, and the Metropolitan Mortuary team provided a wonderful singer to replace ours. All costs were well explained with no surprises. What is really special about this team is how they read the family. We had to make arrangements distant with lots of family travel. They impromptu read the cards for all the flowers sent and it meant so much because some family could not make it. I would highly recommend Metropolitan for your celebration of life and home-going. Special thanks to Roxie, Isaiah and Julie for their great service as well!

    When my mother was first hospitalized we didn't realize we were on the way to saying our goodbyes…read more When she was approved for Hospice we were advised that someone would help us choose a mortuary. It turned out I had to research on my own. I had a really good feeling about Metropolitan, and it turned out to be right. I first called just to get information, and Shun guided me through the process. When the time came we knew that Mom was in good hands. Again, Shun was so reassuring and answered every question. Metropolitan is compassionate, honest, and the value is unbelievable. We were not charged any hidden fees or anything extraordinary. You will be remembered as being on our angel team. Thank you so much!
