Dykstra Funeral Home Obituaries: Search, 4 Chapels, Maps & Family Help

Dykstra Funeral Homes currently lists four locations serving the Holland and Saugatuck area: Downtown Holland Chapel, Northwood Chapel, Mulder Chapel and Saugatuck Chapel. All four locations currently publish the same main telephone number, (616) 392-2348.

This guide explains how to search a Dykstra obituary, understand older versus newer memorial-page layouts, find visitation and service details, check for a livestream, choose the correct chapel map, avoid confusing a funeral-home address with a church or cemetery, request current price information, and route Michigan death-certificate or probate questions to the proper county.

Dykstra Funeral Home Obituaries: Start With These Four Facts

One obituary system Use Dykstra’s official obituary directory and individual memorials.
Four chapels Three in Holland plus one in Saugatuck.
Same main phone All four current location blocks list (616) 392-2348.
Event address matters A service can be held at a church or cemetery instead of a Dykstra chapel.
Fastest safe workflow Open Dykstra Obituaries → find the person → open the complete memorial → verify the name and dates → identify visitation, service and burial separately → use the address attached to the event you actually plan to attend.

Dykstra Funeral Homes: All Four Current Locations

Dykstra chapel Address Telephone When to use this location
Downtown Holland Chapel 29 East Ninth Street
Holland, MI 49423		 (616) 392-2348 Use when the individual memorial specifically identifies Downtown Holland Chapel for visitation, service or family arrangements.
Northwood Chapel 295 Douglas Avenue
Holland, MI 49424		 (616) 392-2348 Use when Northwood Chapel appears in the event details or the memorial states that arrangements are being handled there.
Mulder Chapel 188 West 32nd Street
Holland, MI 49423		 (616) 392-2348 Use when Mulder Chapel is named for visitation, funeral arrangements or a service event.
Saugatuck Chapel 520 Lake Street
Saugatuck, MI 49453		 (616) 392-2348 Use when the memorial identifies Dykstra’s Saugatuck Chapel or the family is being served through that location.
Do not pick a chapel only from the person’s home address. A Holland resident may have a visitation at one Dykstra chapel and a funeral at a church. A Saugatuck-area family may also choose a separate church or cemetery venue. The memorial’s event schedule is more useful than guessing from residence.

How to Read a Dykstra Memorial Page

Dykstra has maintained online memorials for many years, so an older obituary may look different from a newer one. That difference does not necessarily mean you are on the wrong official site.

Life Story / Obituary Older memorials frequently use this label for the main obituary text.
Visitation / Service / Other Older memorial layouts often separate event information under this navigation.
Events Newer memorial pages may display service events in a more modern event section.
Tribute Wall Current memorials may allow family and friends to share appropriate memories or photos.
Contributions & Flowers Follow the family’s published memorial-contribution instructions rather than assuming flowers are requested.
Guestbook / memories Older memorials may provide separate guestbook or memory sections.
Photos Family-approved memorial photographs may be displayed.
Driving Directions Event blocks on Dykstra memorials can provide a route to the exact chapel or venue.
Share the official memorial link rather than republishing the obituary. Current Dykstra memorial pages include notices restricting unauthorized reproduction or redistribution. Linking to the original memorial is also more useful when a service time or venue changes.
05

What 2026 Dykstra Memorials Show About Service Locations

These dated examples are included to explain how Dykstra’s event routing works. They are not intended to be a permanent “latest obituaries” list.

Nella Faber — March 2026

The official memorial scheduled both visitation and the funeral service at Dykstra’s Downtown Holland Chapel, 29 East Ninth Street.

Lesson: sometimes the same chapel is the correct destination for both events.

Lisa M. Dunlap — January 2026

The official memorial listed visitation at Mulder Chapel, while the funeral service was scheduled at Immanuel Church on 104th Avenue in Holland. Interment was listed at Pilgrim Home Cemetery.

Lesson: visitation, funeral and burial can require three different routing decisions.

Jason Stanley Kukla — May 2026

The memorial listed visitation at Northwood Chapel, a funeral at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church and burial at Lakeshore-Holland Cemetery.

Lesson: the Dykstra chapel is not automatically the funeral-service destination.

Why this matters on a phone screen When traveling, save each event separately in Maps. Do not type only “Dykstra Funeral Home” into navigation after seeing the funeral home’s name in the obituary.
06

Dykstra Funeral Home Google Maps: All Four Chapels

The embedded map below shows Downtown Holland Chapel. Use the individual links underneath for Northwood, Mulder or Saugatuck when the memorial names one of those locations.

Downtown Holland 29 East Ninth Street Northwood Chapel 295 Douglas Avenue Mulder Chapel 188 West 32nd Street Saugatuck Chapel 520 Lake Street
The chapel map is not the cemetery map. Use a church, cemetery, park or other venue address from the individual memorial whenever the event is held away from Dykstra.
07

Service-Day Checklist Before You Leave Home

Correct person? Match name and life dates before using the schedule.
Correct event? Visitation is not automatically the funeral.
Correct venue? Check chapel, church, cemetery or other destination.
Correct time zone? Dykstra memorials display local Michigan service times.
Burial private? Respect family wording if the burial or gathering is private.
Flowers or donation? Follow the memorial’s contribution instructions.
Livestream listed? Use only the link or event shown by the official memorial.
Page rechecked? Open the live memorial again close to departure time.

For another guide that explains why funeral-home and cemetery routing must be separated, see the Haysi Funeral Home obituary guide.

How Dykstra Funeral Home Livestreams Can Appear

Dykstra does not publish one permanent livestream page for every funeral. Stream availability is memorial-specific.

1. Open memorial Use the individual person’s official page.
2. Find service Scroll to the visitation/service or Events area.
3. Look for “Live Stream” A stream-enabled service can be labeled in the event information.
4. Recheck near start Stream access may not be useful until close to service time.
Verified historical example Fred Mulder’s 2024 official memorial listed a Mulder Chapel funeral as Live Stream and stated that streaming would begin shortly before the scheduled service. That demonstrates how Dykstra may publish webcast information, but it does not mean every service is streamed.
If no livestream appears, do not invent one. A church may host its own stream, the family may keep viewing private, or no webcast may be offered. Call Dykstra at (616) 392-2348 when the current memorial is unclear.
09

Finding Older Dykstra Funeral Home Obituaries

Dykstra’s website contains a substantial historical archive. Official memorials from the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s remain accessible alongside newer memorials.

Known full name

Search Dykstra’s obituary archive using the person’s complete name first.

Name search fails

Try surname only, maiden name, nickname, initials or a simpler spelling.

Very old memorial

Search the official Dykstra domain together with the person’s name rather than relying only on the newest obituary listing.

Expect an older design. Historical Dykstra memorials may use headings such as “Life Story / Obituary,” “Visitation / Service / Other,” “Guestbook,” “Photos” and “Poetry & Eulogies.” Newer memorials can instead emphasize Events and Tribute Wall.

The Davis Funeral Home obituary guide covers a similar older-memorial search problem and explains why an archive page can look different from a current memorial.

If a Death Has Just Occurred

The current Dykstra pages reviewed for this article clearly provide the common funeral-home contact number, but they did not provide enough consistent public detail for this guide to claim one universal online immediate-need form or fixed arrangement timetable.

  1. 1
    Follow the medical or legal pronouncement process

    The first procedure differs for a hospital, hospice, nursing facility, attended home death or unexpected death.

  2. 2
    Check for existing funeral instructions

    Look for a prearrangement, cemetery paperwork, insurance intended for funeral expenses or written family instructions.

  3. 3
    Call Dykstra Funeral Homes

    Use the official number (616) 392-2348 and explain which community or chapel is relevant.

  4. 4
    Ask when arrangements can begin

    Request the current appointment process and ask what information the family should prepare.

  5. 5
    Ask for current itemized pricing

    Do not approve services based on an old third-party funeral-price estimate.

Do not send private funeral information to FuneralHomeObituaries.org. Social Security numbers, medical information, insurance policies, death-certificate data and signed arrangement paperwork should go only to Dykstra or the verified government/financial institution that needs them.

For a more detailed example of an immediate-need information checklist, see the Hazel Green Funeral Home obituary guide.

11

Dykstra Funeral Home Prices: How to Get Current Costs

No reliable current public Dykstra General Price List with complete 2026 consumer prices was found during this review. This page therefore does not invent a burial package, cremation package, embalming charge, casket price or total funeral estimate.
Ask Dykstra about Useful question Why it matters
Basic services What is the current basic services of funeral director and staff fee? This is normally a core General Price List item.
Transfer / removal What transportation is included and when does mileage change the cost? West Michigan travel distances can vary.
Viewing / visitation What preparation, facility and staffing fees apply to the visitation we are considering? Viewing-related selections can affect total cost.
Burial What funeral, hearse and graveside charges apply, and which cemetery costs are separate? The cemetery may bill separately from the funeral home.
Cremation What are the current direct-cremation and cremation-with-service options? A cremation with viewing or memorial service can differ from direct cremation.
Cash advances Which death certificates, clergy, newspaper, flowers or other items are paid to outside providers? Third-party charges can change the final statement.

The Federal Trade Commission explains funeral consumers’ price-information rights, including telephone price discussions and the written General Price List used during in-person arrangements.

Michigan Death Certificates: Ottawa County, Allegan County or State?

Use the place where the death occurred—not the Dykstra chapel address—to choose the correct county record office. This is especially important around Holland because the wider Holland area touches both Ottawa and Allegan counties, while the Saugatuck area is served through Allegan County records.

Record route Current fee snapshot When to use it
Ottawa County Clerk $15 for one certified copy; $6 for each additional copy of the same record on the same order. Online technology fees can apply. Use when the death occurred in Ottawa County. Ottawa County’s system includes online death-record ordering/search routes.
Allegan County Clerk $10 for the first certified copy; $4 for each additional copy under the county’s current fee schedule. Use when the person was pronounced dead in Allegan County. The county says it can provide death certificates only for deaths pronounced in that county.
Michigan Vital Records Michigan currently lists a $34 standard-record search fee; online processing carries an additional fee. Use the state route when appropriate or when you need a statewide ordering option instead of the county office.

Michigan Vital Records
Do not choose Ottawa County only because the obituary says Holland. Use the actual place of death. A person can live in Holland, use a Holland Dykstra chapel and die in another Michigan county.

Probate and Estate Help After a Dykstra Funeral

Dykstra can handle funeral arrangements, but the funeral home does not appoint the personal representative of an estate or issue Letters of Authority. Michigan probate jurisdiction depends on the deceased person’s legal circumstances and residence, not which chapel handled the service.

Ottawa County Probate Court

414 Washington Ave., Room 200
Grand Haven, MI 49417

Phone: (616) 786-4110

Current court hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., closed noon–1:00 p.m.

Allegan County Probate Court

113 Chestnut St.
Allegan, MI 49010

Phone: (269) 673-0250

Current hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

Allegan County’s published deceased-estate checklist is unusually useful. For informal probate, the county currently lists documents such as the death certificate, Application for Informal Probate/Appointment, Will and codicils if applicable, heir testimony and other probate forms. Its published filing fee for an application/petition for probate is currently $175.
Do not pick a probate court from the funeral-home address. A family can use Dykstra in Holland or Saugatuck even when the deceased was legally domiciled in a different county or state.

Verify a Michigan Funeral Establishment or File a Complaint

Michigan’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs regulates funeral establishments, mortuary science licensees and resident trainees through its mortuary-science licensing program.

Verify a license

Michigan LARA provides a Verify a License route for funeral establishments and mortuary-science professionals.

Consumer complaint

The same state licensing area provides a File a Complaint route when a genuine licensing or professional-regulation concern exists.

Michigan Funeral Directors / Mortuary Science

After opening: choose Verify a License for credential checks or File a Complaint for an appropriate regulatory concern. Keep contracts, invoices and relevant communications if you need to document an issue.

Social Security and Veteran Family Tasks

Social Security

SSA says funeral homes generally report deaths to Social Security. If a funeral home does not report the death, the family should contact SSA directly. Eligible surviving family members may also have survivor-benefit questions.

SSA: When Someone Dies
Veteran burial and memorial benefits

Eligible Veteran families may qualify for national-cemetery burial, a government headstone or marker, burial flag, Presidential Memorial Certificate and possible burial allowance or transportation reimbursement.

VA Burial & Memorial Benefits
Keep Veteran paperwork accessible. A DD-214 or other military-discharge record is commonly useful when confirming Veteran eligibility. Use VA—not an obituary page—as the final source for benefit eligibility.
