Included With Every Cremation — No Extra Charge
The BPC Difference
Every Cremation Includes a Complete Memorial Keepsake Collection
Most crematories charge extra for keepsakes — or don't offer them at all. At Bakersfield Pet Crematory, every family receives this thoughtfully handcrafted collection at no additional cost, because your pet's memory deserves more than just an urn.
Lasered Wood Keepsake
A solid wood keepsake, hand-engraved with your pet's actual paw print or nose print and their name — a one-of-a-kind tribute you'll keep forever.
Clay Paw Print
A hand-pressed clay impression capturing your pet's paw exactly as it was, preserved as a lasting keepsake.
Fur Clipping
A gently preserved clipping of your pet's fur, kept safe in a keepsake vial.
Heartfelt Farewell Card
A heartfelt farewell card honoring your pet's memory and the bond you shared.
Included with every cremation — private, communal, or eco-friendly — at no extra charge.

A Local, Family-Owned Service You Can Trust
Bakersfield Pet Crematory was founded by Chris Dalton, a 24-year Bakersfield law enforcement veteran and former K9 handler, after realizing local families had nowhere to turn for pet cremation without sending their pets outside Kern County. Today, every cremation is handled personally, right here in Bakersfield.

Common questions
Answers for Families
What types of cremation services do you offer?
We offer private cremation, where your pet is cremated individually and only their ashes are returned to you; communal cremation, where pets are cremated together in a respectful process; witness cremation, where you can be present; private visitation before cremation; and eco-friendly cremation, where ashes are scattered on a local Kern County farm. We also offer custom urns, keepsakes and personalized memorial printing.
Can I be present during the cremation?
Yes. Our witness cremation option lets you be present in a dedicated, private space as we gently carry out the cremation. It is available for an additional fee — please call or chat with us so we can arrange a time that works for your family.
What should I do if my pet passes away at home?
Call us at 661-342-7148 and we'll walk you through exactly what to do next. We can arrange transportation for your pet, or you're welcome to bring them to us directly. Until then, keep your pet in a cool, quiet place, and take as much time as you need to say goodbye.
