Held a wedding here October 2025. We specifically requested Nicholas as our master of ceremonies and he crushed it. The space has been remodeled and is clean, bright, and modern. We had a photo booth at the entryway for friends and family to capture timeless memories. The kitchen area has a large island which made it easy to host a buffet style dinner for our large party. The main floor was rearranged to provide group seating for our guests, staging for the live band, and a dance floor for everyone to get their boogie on. In summary, we had an incredible experience and thank Nicholas and Darling & Fischer for helping us to create moments we will cherish forever.

Phenomenal service from this mortuary. The care they put into assisting and making sure the service we had was exceptional. Every detail and the help they gave us made this process so much easier. Beautiful venue, location and the most caring and compassionate employees. They made one of the hardest days of our lives - a little bit easier by making sure nothing was missed. They also connected us with an incredible Christian pastor named Ryan Wright who did the service for us and was so incredible. The time he put into it and the message he delivered was so healing and heartfelt. Forever grateful for the service we had for our loved one.
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.
