Learn our story, from the beginning and into the future.
Ever since we opened our gates we have approached life (and death) differently. While some just see the end of a loved one’s life as a time for grief and mourning, we prefer to think of it as a time for reflection, appreciation and even celebration. This is evident in everything we do, from the way we conduct our services to the amenities we choose to offer. We are not a burial ground. We are a close knit community dedicated to honoring, sharing and preserving the amazing and inspirational stories that are life.

Daley Murphy Wisch & Associates Funeral Home and Crematorium was established in 1922, and serving families has always been our focus. We take pride in being able to guide people through some of their most difficult days. We take pride in maintaining a setting that allows people to find solace. Celebrating life is our mission. That’s never changed. And with pride, it never will.
With one foot in the past and one foot in the future, the Daley-Murphy-Wisch & Associates Funeral Home provides their clients with the finest personal care available in Beloit and the surrounding communities.
Their history stretches back to 1922, when Edward A. Daley purchased a locally-owned funeral home. Joined by Louis P. Murphy in 1950, the two men operated the business together at their location at 816 E. Grand Avenue for the next ten years. In 1960, the home changed ownership when purchased from Mr. Daley by his partners Louis P. Murphy and Richard Wisch. They expanded the firm 18 years later, by taking in Mr. Murphy's son, Jerry, in 1978.
The three men worked well together, and continued to offer professional service and individualized attention to each family they served. But, ten years later, in July of 1988, they found that to continue such personalized attention they required a larger staff. They brought in four new partners, thereby ensuring a consistent quality of service. It was then they incorporated the business, and the name became Daley-Murphy-Wisch and Associates.
More changes were to come in 1991, when the firm moved to its current location, the beautiful building at 2355 Cranston Road, Beloit. The facility includes a lovely chapel, an intimate arrangement room, as well as well-appointed reception and viewing areas. Truly, you are assured a comfortable, soothing experience when you step through the door.
