The funeral home's history is rich and storied, beginning in 1939 when the Praiswater family purchased the J.J. Whitley Mansion, operating it as Praiswater Mortuary until 1994. Across the street, the Swimley family ran Swimley Funeral Home (originally Ross H. Jones Funeral Home, later Meyer-Mitchell Mortuary) since 1929. The devastating 1994 Northridge earthquake severely damaged both facilities, leading to a merger of Praiswater Mortuary and Pierce Brothers Meyer-Mitchell. The historic Whitley Mansion was demolished, and the combined operation underwent major renovations at the current address, reopening in 1995 as Praiswater Meyer-Mitchell. In 2006, the funeral home received its present name, Funeraria del Angel Van Nuys. Today, it continues a tradition of compassionate care while honoring diverse cultural and religious traditions. Families can plan ahead with prepayment plans that offer up to 10% off, and the facility provides a 100% service guarantee. Available 24/7, the team offers immediate assistance, pre-planning consultations, and virtual or in-person appointments. With an outstanding 4.7-star rating on Google and 4.9 stars on its own site, Funeraria del Angel Van Nuys is trusted by hundreds of families each year for dignified end-of-life care.
