David's Cradle Angel Gowns

At no cost to bereaved families, David’s Cradle transforms wedding gowns, prom, and formal dresses into burial gowns for preemies to full-term babies born asleep. We are a not-for-profit organization that makes Angel Gowns from donated wedding gowns. Each Angel Gown is made with love.


Angel Gowns are gifted at no charge to the grieving family to dress their precious child with dignity. No parent expects or is ready for this type of loss. David’s Cradle and Angel Gowns for Kern County works hard to ease the pain of the parents dealing with a loss of a baby.


David’s Cradle has been supporting families since 2012 and acquired Angle Gowns for Kern County November 2018. We support several hospitals, funeral homes, and private individuals.
