Tinkler Funeral Chapel & Crematory

Tinkler Funeral Chapel & Crematory, also known as Funeraria Del Angel Fresno, is a distinguished funeral home located at 475 North Broadway Street in the Tower District of Fresno, California. The business occupies a beautiful Mission Revival-style mansion situated on the corner of North Broadway and Belmont Avenue, set within nicely landscaped grounds. This location has been serving families in the central San Joaquin Valley since 1965, when the Copner family moved the funeral home from its original location at 1459 Van Ness Avenue. The facility offers a lovely chapel that can accommodate approximately 100 guests, with an adjacent viewing area that can seat an additional 50 people. A home-like family lounge provides privacy and comfort for families before services begin. The funeral home's history dates back to 1925 when founder Warren C. Tinkler began his career as a funeral director in Fresno. Tinkler served as president of both the Fresno County Funeral Directors Association and the California Funeral Directors Association, and also worked as a deputy under Coroner J. Herman Kennedy for seven years. In 1965, the Copner family purchased the business and operated it until May 1997, providing generations of families with compassionate funeral and cremation services. Today, the funeral home continues to be known for its attentive and graceful service, welcoming people of all religious and cultural backgrounds. The team plans a wide range of services, from traditional funerals to contemporary and alternative memorials, each uniquely reflecting the life of the individual being honored. Service options include direct cremation, burial with chapel or graveside services, and cremation with memorial services. A grief management library with award-winning DVDs, booklets, and brochures is available to help families cope with their loss. The business is an active member of the North Fresno Lions Club, the Better Business Bureau, and the Fresno Chamber of Commerce. Since 2013, the team has hosted an annual Halloween trunk-or-treat event for local children and families. As part of the Dignity Memorial network, Funeraria Del Angel Tinkler offers clients personalized service combined with exceptional value and quality. The location is easily accessible to residents throughout the greater Fresno area, and the staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to assist with immediate needs, future planning, or facility tours.
