Darling Fischer in Campbell is one of our three South Bay locations.

On East Campbell Avenue in Downtown Campbell, the building retains its exterior historic charm while the interior is modern, warm, and inviting.

When you step inside, you don't feel like you're in a funeral home. And that's the point.

With a full kitchen, bright and beautifully furnished rooms, and plenty of space, it serves the needs of our community for funerals, memorial services, and celebrations of life. We also host other events, including the Making Spirits Bright community fundraiser for the Campbell Community Toy Program.

It’s more than just a funeral home—it’s a welcoming space where memories are honored, lives are celebrated, and community comes together.

“The connections we make in the course of a life—maybe that's what heaven is.” – Fred Rogers

When we think about what truly lasts, it's the love we gave, the kindness we shared, and the people who felt seen because of us.

Daring to love, to put ourselves out there, to connect with others is one of the surest ways to create a life worth living.

What are your thoughts about the importance of connection?

❓How do you express support to someone close to you who is grieving? What can you say that makes them feel seen, supported and understood?

Even if you've endured loss of your own, it can still be difficult to know what to say.

Platitudes, clichés, and "at leasts" are all-too-common yet they often leave grievers feeling misunderstood.

NPR Life Kit delves into this topic in their "How to support a grieving friend" episode.

When families walk through their hardest days, it’s the compassion, care, and attention to detail that truly make a difference.

One family shared how Maribel, Carlos, Greg, and Connie at Darling Fischer guided them with kindness, patience, and heartfelt support—from the first call to the final farewell. Whether it was speaking Portuguese with Dad or handling every detail with grace, their empathy left a lasting impact.

We’re deeply honored to serve with love.

Thank you for trusting us.

Have you heard of The 🌬️Wind Phone?

It began in 2010 in a garden in Otsuchi, Japan—a town later devastated by the tsunami of 2011. A man named Itaru Sasaki placed an old phone booth on his property with a disconnected rotary phone inside. After losing his cousin, he created the space as a way to “talk” to him—sending his words into the wind.

After the disaster, grieving neighbors began visiting too. The Wind Phone became a quiet place to speak to lost loved ones, to say what was left unsaid.

Since then, replicas have appeared around the world—in parks, gardens, and cemeteries. The Wind Phone in this photo can be found in Joshua Tree. Each is unique but they all offer people a place to process grief, memory, and connection in their own time, in their own words.

📞 Sometimes, what we need most is simply to say hello again.

Beauty isn’t found in perfection—it’s found in those who have walked through pain and still choose to show up with open hearts.

Those who’ve known grief, hardship, and heartbreak often carry a quiet strength and profound compassion. Their gentleness isn’t weakness—it’s the hard-earned softness that comes from surviving and still choosing love.

To everyone who’s been through the depths and found their way back: you are the most beautiful kind of human.

Lament is more than grief — it’s a conversation.

While grief is how we respond and adapt to loss, lament is what happens when we give our grief a voice and express it outward into the world. It’s the brave act of naming our sorrow, our confusion, even our anger — and offering it to someone who will listen.

Lament is profoundly relational. It says, “I won’t carry this pain in silence.” It seeks connection in the midst of heartbreak, and it reminds us that we are not alone.

Can AI bring back the people we miss most?

Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian recently used new AI video tech to animate a photo of his late mother—capturing a moment of her hugging him as a child. The result? “This is how she hugged me. I've rewatched it 50 times.”

His emotional post has sparked a powerful conversation about digital resurrection—and whether it helps us grieve or complicates how we remember.

Is this technology you would considering using? Why or why not?
