- KCKathleen CannuliJan 6, 20261.0Main issue I had with this facility was lack of communication regarding my husband’s cremation, ash disposition or reason for delays to receive death certificates and additional form needed to be signed for a service paid for at time of contract. They need to reach out and advise people what is going on.
- JSJemielyn SamsonDec 18, 20255.0Losing my husband has bin the biggest heartbreak and challenge that I had. My husbands family had a couple of deaths in their family and recommended Darling-Fischer. I am glad that I listened and accepted their services. We specifically chose Darling Fischer Campbell Memorial Chapel to have my husbands visitation as this place is close and big enough to accommodate our family and friends. Stephanie and the rest of the team are amazing. They lead all the hard lifting and gave me the time to grieve for my husband. They are very accommodating and are very mindful of our religion/tradition in celebrating the life of our deceased loved ones. I can't thank them enough for all their help in this very difficult time in our life.
- BPBretton PaulDec 5, 20255.0⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We recently hosted our friend’s birthday at Darling & Fischer Memorial Chapel in Campbell, and I cannot recommend this space highly enough. While they are known as a funeral home, they also offer a beautiful, versatile venue that works perfectly for all types of events. The space is open, bright, and incredibly spacious, making it ideal for larger gatherings. The kitchen is absolutely beautiful and well-equipped, which made hosting seamless. There’s also plenty of parking—a huge bonus—plus the location in downtown Campbell couldn’t be more convenient. Nicholas and Robin were wonderful to work with—kind, professional, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process. They made everything easy and ensured our event went perfectly. If you’re looking for a unique and elegant space for an event, Darling & Fischer is truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend!
- RARyanVincent AlvarezDec 5, 20255.0We had a wonderful celebration at the Campbell Memorial Chapel for our god daughter’s first birthday. What’s so phenomenal about this location is that it leads with a welcoming and home-like environment, with exceptional staff, and comfortable setting. The open floor plan of the lounge area extends the length of the building and is raised above the chapel floor. The full kitchen was perfect for hosting and the lounge area with sofas and soft seating were perfect for gathering. We’d definitely book this gem of a location again, and also have the top of mind for the future. Thank you for the care and hospitality!
- JCJean CardinaleNov 7, 20255.0Cynthia and the entire family at Darling & Fischer made what was a sad and frightening time a wonderful celebration! My questions were answered before I asked them. My entire family was welcomed with love and care thank you for this….🙏🏼🥰🥹
Frequently Asked Questions About Darling Fischer Campbell Memorial Chapel
What can be done with the cremated remains?
With cremation, your options are numerous. The cremains can be interred in a cemetery plot, i.e., earth burial, retained by a family member, usually in an urn, scattered on private property, or at a place that was significant to the deceased. (It would always be advisable to check for local regulations regarding scattering in a public place-your funeral director can help you with this.)
Today, there are many different types of memorial options from which to choose. Memorialization is a time-honored tradition that has been practiced for centuries. A memorial serves as a tribute to a life lived and provides a focal point for remembrance, as well as a record for future generations. The type of memorial you choose is a personal decision.
What is memorialization for a cremation?
You might choose ground burial of the urn. If so, you may usually choose either a bronze memorial or monument. Cremation niches in columbariums are also available at many cemeteries. They offer the beauty of a mausoleum setting with the benefits of above ground placement of remains. Many cemeteries also offer scattering gardens. This area of a cemetery offers the peacefulness of a serene garden where family and friends can come and reflect.
Can we scatter the cremated remains?
If you wish to have your ashes scattered somewhere, it is important to discuss your wishes to be scattered ahead of time with the person or persons who will actually have to do the cremation ashes scattering ceremony, as they might want to let your funeral professional assist in the scattering ceremony. Funeral directors can also be very helpful in creating a meaningful and personal ash scattering ceremony that they will customize to fit your families specific desires. The services can be as formal or informal as you like. Scattering services can also be public or private. Again, it is advisable to check for local regulations regarding scattering in a public place-your funeral director can help you with this.
If I am cremated, can I be buried with my spouse even if he or she was in a casket?
Yes — Depending upon the cemetery's policy, you may be able to save a grave space by having the cremains buried on top of the casketed remains of your spouse, or utilize the space provided next to him/her. Many cemeteries allow for multiple cremated remains to be interred in a single grave space.
What do I need to know about income tax when I lose a spouse?
Uncertainty about income tax issues can add to the stress experienced from the death of a spouse. You should meet with your family attorney and/or tax advisor as soon as possible to review your particular tax and estate circumstances. Bring a detailed list of your questions to the meeting. If you do not have an attorney or tax advisor, call the IRS toll-free at 800-829-1040 for answers to specific tax questions.
Is there financial help if I need it?
There are a number of options available, including:
Determine if the deceased person qualifies for any entitlements. Check with the Social Security Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and with your State Fund. Many people are entitled to get financial assistance with their funeral costs from these agencies if they qualify.
Review all insurance policies the deceased person has, including life insurance. Some life insurance policies have coverage clauses for funeral related costs.
Find local charities providing financial help for funeral expenses. Search for non profit organizations and for churches in your area.
Talk to your funeral director about cremation options - these can be much less expensive depending on your choices.
What are the options available for handling cremated remains?
Cremated remains can be interred in a cemetery plot, retained by family members in an urn, scattered on private property or places significant to the deceased. Local regulations may apply to scattering in public places.
What does memorialization for a cremation involve?
Memorialization options include ground burial of the urn with a bronze memorial or monument, cremation niches in columbariums at cemeteries, and scattering gardens offering peaceful spots for reflection.
Is it possible to scatter the cremated remains?
Yes, scattering ashes is possible and can be part of a personalized ceremony. It’s important to discuss wishes beforehand and check local regulations. Funeral directors often assist in creating meaningful scattering ceremonies.
Can cremated remains be buried with a spouse who was casketed?
Yes, depending on the cemetery's policies, cremains may be buried on top of or beside a casketed spouse. Many cemeteries allow multiple cremated remains in a single grave space.
What financial assistance options are available for funeral expenses?
