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

Well taken care of and staffed. Beautiful setting, very peaceful and reflective. The staff is very helpful in answering questions and assisting with details. A nice place to visit and give respects, even if just a visitor. Well worth taking a few minutes off your drive. read more

My dad is buried out at the Bakersfield National Cemetery. Everyone there was very informative and respectful. I could call and they had answers and walked me thru the procedures and gave me phone numbers also. The place is pristine! So beautiful in the foothills. The programs like Christmas wreaths across America is a beautiful site to see. read more

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... read more

Bakersfield National Cemetery - Beautiful place to spend eternity... - Funeral Services & Cemeteries Near Me - Arvin, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Bakersfield National Cemetery - Dad would've appreciated this. (Should read "venomous snakes.") - Funeral Services & Cemeteries Near Me - Arvin, California

Not a review I really want to write but the service we went to here was beautiful. A Military funeral is always very moving. They are very structured, organized and make it so nice and touching for the family and friends of the deceased. First every one is gathered at the first staging area where you sign in get your memorial card and then informed where you are to follow in your car to the area where the service is going to be held. These are very short and sweet always with the twenty one gun salute, taps and presentation of the folded flag to a family member or for at least it was the customary service for the branch of military that our friend was in. Then you are instructed where you can leave the cemetery as the next service will be on their way up and leaving can be tricky on the different highways to be careful. Very nice. read more

Came here for the day to say goodbye to Grandpa. The staff was great and so respectful. Made me want to join a military branch just to be buried here. Thank you all for making this day seamless. read more

My mother was interred here a year ago. A couple of weeks ago my father, who was in the Army, was also. They were easy to work with and everything was dignified and a staff that was understanding and patient. The Honor Guard performed their duties commendably and the one who spoke briefly and presented the flag, spent shells, and letter from the president to my sister couldn't have been more perfect. Although it's a ways out of town the setting is perfect and a sense of hollowed ground can be felt when visiting. read more

My husband is interred here as well as many friends. The staff was extremely helpful and this is a very lovely, quiet setting. The property is kept in pristine condition. If one needs a walking aid, this probably isn't the best spot for using it. To reach the majority of the plots requires walking off pavement onto gravel and dirt. I have use my stroller style walker with fair success but I believe a regular walker would be difficult to manage. This is the only negative aspect I can think of. Like all of the National Veterans' Cemeteries, burial and the service venue are free. I was told by the mortician in 2015 that they don't do the gun salutes any longer due to lack of staff, however, a cousin of mine, from Ventura County who is a veteran and who does honor guard services for vets, was able to arrange that. He did both my father's service and my husband's. read more

Came by to see an old friend that is buried here. Beautiful veteran cemetery for Kern County. Very clean, really nice bathrooms, good working water faucets, beautiful peaceful surroundings and they have a computer system which will help you find a loved one. It even prints out a map for you. To all the veterans and their families, past, present and future. I thank you all for your service, sacrifice and honor. It is because of people like you that I strive to live a good, honorable, honest life. read more

Was on my way to Las Vegas and stopped in to visit a friend buried here. What a beautifully maintained property. Everything was neat and orderly and the grounds staff was very professional. The public restrooms were spotless and had a super clean scent. Whoever is in charge of maintaining the grounds should be commended for the top notch service the cemetery receives. Great job. read more

dear folks, buried my stepdad, earl Laverne daniels here in January of 2014 and it was an appropriate ceremony, one without too much pomp and circumstance, simply, playing of taps by some volunteers, our saying good-bye to dad until the time of the earthly resurrection and make a clean break without everyone breaking down in tears. thanks to the facility and I presume that my wife and I will both be buried there without any wild celebrations, simply put to rest until Jehovah says it is the time to arise and live again. thank you all for your time, your cordial greetings,your kindness and your concern. sincerely, Charles m. daniels, Lancaster, California 93536 e-mail cdanie42@aol.comtel 661-943-4548 read more
