Chandler was raised with Funeral Service being a way of life, seeing the day to day operations conducted by his father, Shawn Wiscombe. From a very young age, he fully understood the respect and privacy that was involved in caring for those entrusted to their family Funeral Homes. At 6 years of age a friend came for a play date and Chandler immediately asked him if he would like a tour of the Funeral Home, of course he was interested but even more curious was his friend's father who had brought him over and decided to accompany the two. The friends father later shared how Chandler led the tour explaining the use of each room within the building, he explained caskets and urn and their purpose, as they approached a closed door Chandler pointed to the door and said, "this is where people are prepared for viewing and burial but this is a room that we cannot go into" the friend's father was surprised at Chandler's real understanding and respect for the work that his father performed. Chandler graduated from Davis School for Independent Study in Davis, California where he received scholarships for his incredible artistic abilities.
During the beginning months of the Covid-19 pandemic he found himself without work and his father extended an offer to come to Salt Lake City to help with the renovations that had just begun at Neil O'Donnell Funeral Home, it was during this time that he told his father that he felt strongly that he would like to become a Funeral Director, understanding the commitment involved in the profession his father suggested that he think about it for a few weeks and really weigh the opportunity before making a determination, he returned after two weeks knowing that Funeral Service is the profession that felt right for him.
