Services
Mission Family Mortuary structures services around the principle that ceremony is essential to healing, emphasizing that families should not skip gathering opportunities even with cremation. Their veteran services include hands-on coordination of military honors and documentation.
Mission Family Mortuary opened its doors in 2003, established by the Mish and Mount families as a locally owned and operated funeral home serving Kern County. The business sits at 531 California Avenue in Bakersfield, continuing what the site describes as a history of caring and legacy of service that the community has come to know.
At 94 years old, founder Ray J. Mish remains president and actively involved in day-to-day operations, personally mentoring staff on what the site calls the old and new ways of funeral directing. His approach combines gentlemanly traditional service with modern, cutting-edge funeral planning. The leadership structure includes three partners: Ray J. Mish as president, his son David Mish as vice president, and Kenny L. Mount Jr. as managing partner.
The mortuary emphasizes creating meaningful, personalized ceremonies rather than standardized services. Staff members are positioned as having years of experience caring for families from all walks of life, with the site noting their dedication to excellence in service and highest integrity.
