?Which Jewish cemeteries near Bakersfield are selling plots?▼
None of the cemeteries on this page has yet confirmed public plot sales with EverJewish. Most listings still read "details not yet confirmed" — ask the cemeteries from this page and their answers come to you.
?What does a Jewish burial plot cost near Bakersfield?▼
Cemeteries rarely publish prices, and a grave is several lines — the plot, opening and closing, perpetual care, the monument and its setting — that differ by section and by membership. On EverJewish you tell the Jewish cemeteries near Bakersfield once what you're looking for and each answers you with its own availability, requirements and prices; no calls until you're ready.
?What should a family confirm before choosing a Jewish cemetery near Bakersfield?▼
Whether plots are available now and to whom (members, the public, or pre-sold only); who may be buried there, including a non-Jewish spouse and section rules; the total cost in writing; the cemetery's rules for the monument; and which funeral homes it works with. Jewish funerals are not held on Shabbat or festivals, and customs vary between communities — the family's rabbi decides what is right for them.
?Where can I arrange a Jewish burial in Bakersfield?▼
Hillcrest Memorial Park has a Jewish section and has served families for over 55 years. The Home of Peace section at Union Cemetery is also documented; a Kever Avot service was held there in 2025, but you should confirm current burial availability. Speak directly with each cemetery about eligibility and next steps.
?Are there Jewish cemetery options outside Bakersfield?▼
Yes. Home of Peace Cemetery in Porterville (49 miles away) offers dedicated Jewish sections. Shafter Memorial Park (13 miles) has burial options but no dedicated Jewish section. North Kern Cemetery District in Delano (31 miles) may also serve the area. Contact each directly about residency and eligibility.
?What do I need to know about the Home of Peace section at Union Cemetery?▼
A Kever Avot service was held there in 2025, confirming the section exists. However, whether burials currently take place there is not confirmed. Contact the cemetery directly to ask about availability and any eligibility requirements.
