Some seasons feel long. Others pass in a blink.
Winter reminds us to pause, reflect, and remember. Spring nudges us forward with quiet hope.

At Fisher Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services, we honor every season — and walk with you through each one.

In the movies, the Coroner shows up, sings a line, and the paperwork is magically done.
Real life takes a few more steps.”

If a death occurs at home and the person is not under hospice care, families can call 9-11 or the Funeral Home first. We will guide you through what to do next.

By law, the coroner must be notified. We contact the coroner, who then alerts the local police or sheriff’s department. An officer will arrive to verify identification — both the deceased’s driver’s license and the next‑of‑kin’s.

When the coroner arrives, they will review medical history, medications, and recent health information before releasing the decedent into the care of the Funeral Home.

If the cause of death is uncertain, the coroner may require the individual to be taken to the morgue for an autopsy. In those cases, the timeline is very different from the Munchkinland version.
Toxicology results can take 4–8 weeks, and the pathologist’s report follows after that. Only then can the death certificate be finalized.

Indiana law also requires the coroner to ask about organ and tissue donation. It can feel abrupt, but sometimes even in tragedy there’s a chance for a gift that lives on. Just know…asking is a required part of their job.

It can feel overwhelming if you’ve never been through it.
Our role is to walk with you through every step — with clarity, dignity, and care.

Where were you when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded?

Today marks 40 years since we lost seven courageous astronauts, and we pause to honor their legacy.

It’s also the day Funeral Director Jonathan Fisher was born — and the day his lifelong connection to this profession quietly began. Growing up above the funeral home meant he was helping his dad and grandpa long before he officially went on the payroll at age 16 when he we licensed to drive!

Today we celebrate Jonathan’s 40th birthday and his official work anniversary, and we’re grateful for the compassion and dedication he brings to the families we serve. We love you, Jonathan!
