Official obituary page:

Falls Funeral Home and Cremation Center — Search the Obituaries

Use the official obituary page first when you need the most direct funeral-home-published notice or service information.

The funeral home is identified online as Falls Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Wichita Falls, Texas. Current directory information also lists the location at 1903 Austin Street, Wichita Falls, TX and the phone number (940) 264-2626. Because business details can change, confirm the latest contact information on the funeral home’s official website before traveling or sending documents.

How to Search Falls Funeral Home Obituaries

Open the official obituary page.
Go directly to the funeral home’s obituary section rather than relying only on third-party obituary indexes.
Enter the person’s name.
Start with the last name if you are unsure of the exact first-name spelling. If that returns too many results, add the first name.
Try alternate name forms.
Search maiden names, married names, initials, middle names, nicknames, and common spelling variations. Obituaries may be published under the name the family used rather than the legal name shown on another record.
Open the individual obituary.
Review the full notice for service dates, family names, places lived, funeral details, memorial instructions, and any cemetery or burial information.
Save the important details.
Record the person’s full name, date of death, funeral or visitation date, cemetery name if stated, family members, and the obituary URL.

Search tip:

If the exact name does not appear, search only the surname first. A notice may use a middle name, nickname, maiden name, initials, or a slightly different spelling.

What Information Can a Falls Funeral Home Obituary Include?

The exact information varies by family and by notice, but a funeral-home obituary can provide several useful facts in one place.

Identity details Full name, nickname, age, birth information, and death date may be included.

Family connections Spouse, parents, children, siblings, grandchildren, and other relatives may be named.

Service information Visitation, memorial service, funeral service, church, chapel, date, and time may appear.

Burial clues Some notices state the cemetery, burial location, interment plans, or cremation preference.

Life history Employment, education, military service, organizations, interests, and communities may be mentioned.

Memorial instructions Families may request flowers, charitable donations, condolences, or memorial contributions.

An obituary should be treated as an important family and funeral source, but not every detail is automatically an official civil record. If you are doing legal, historical, or genealogical research, compare key facts with cemetery records, death certificates, military records, or other original sources when possible.

What to Do If You Cannot Find the Obituary

A missing search result does not necessarily mean the funeral home did not handle the arrangements. The obituary may use a different name, may not have been published online, or may be outside the visible date range.

Problem	What to try	Why it can help
Name not found	Search surname only, then try initials, middle names, nicknames, maiden names, and alternate spellings.	Funeral notices often use the family’s preferred name rather than the exact legal form.
Death date uncertain	Search a broader time period and compare local death records or newspaper notices.	The remembered year may be off, especially in older family research.
Person lived outside Wichita Falls	Search nearby cities, the person’s last residence, and the place of death.	Funeral arrangements and burial location may be in different communities.
Older obituary missing online	Contact the funeral home and check local archives, newspapers, cemetery records, and death indexes.	Older records are not always fully digitized.
Need burial location	Use the obituary as a clue, then verify with the cemetery or another burial record.	An obituary may mention a cemetery without giving section, lot, or grave number.

If you are primarily trying to locate a burial rather than read a funeral notice, use our grave and cemetery research guide to combine obituary clues with cemetery, vital-record, veteran, and archive sources.

How to Use an Obituary to Verify a Grave or Burial

Obituaries are especially useful when the cemetery is unknown. A single notice may reveal the funeral home, church, hometown, relatives, service location, or cemetery name. Those clues can then be used to confirm the burial.

Copy the exact cemetery name from the obituary.
Do not rely on memory. Cemeteries with similar names may exist in different counties or cities.
Note the burial or service date.
This can help a cemetery office locate the correct interment record.
Record relatives listed in the notice.
Family members can help identify the correct family plot when several people have similar names.
Contact the cemetery for plot-level confirmation.
Ask for the section, lot, plot, row, grave number, interment date, or other locator used by that cemetery.
Cross-check with an official record when needed.
A death certificate, cemetery register, veteran burial locator, or government archive can help confirm details that are incomplete in the obituary.

For U.S. veterans:

If the deceased served in the U.S. military, the VA Nationwide Gravesite Locator can help locate many burials in national cemeteries, state veterans cemeteries, and certain other participating cemeteries.

For broader burial-research steps, see the step-by-step grave search process and the cemetery office verification guidance.

Using Falls Funeral Home Obituaries for Family History

For genealogy, an obituary can connect several records that may otherwise appear unrelated. A spouse’s name can lead to a marriage record, a parent’s name can help identify an earlier generation, and a cemetery reference can lead to nearby relatives in the same family plot.

Save These Details From Every Useful Obituary

Full name exactly as published
Nickname or middle name
Birth and death dates
Place of birth and place of death
Current and former residences
Spouse and parents
Children, siblings, and grandchildren
Military service
Church or religious affiliation
Funeral home and service location
Cemetery or cremation information
Obituary URL and date you accessed it

When a family relationship is important to your research, verify it against another record. The U.S. National Archives genealogy resources can help with census, military, immigration, naturalization, and other federal records.

You can also use the genealogy and archives research route on FindAGraves.com when an obituary gives you a name but not enough information to identify the correct person.

3. How do I search for a specific obituary?

Open the official obituary page and search the person’s name. If the exact name does not appear, try surname only, initials, maiden names, nicknames, middle names, and spelling variations.

4. Why can I not find an older obituary?

Older notices may not be fully digitized, may use a different name, or may no longer appear in the same online index. Contact the funeral home and check cemetery records, local newspapers, archives, and death indexes.

5. Can a funeral-home obituary tell me where someone is buried?

Sometimes. An obituary may name the cemetery or mention interment plans. If you need the exact grave location, contact the cemetery and ask for section, lot, plot, row, or grave-number information.

6. Are obituary details considered official records?

An obituary is an important published family and funeral source, but it is not the same as a government-issued death certificate. Verify critical facts with cemetery, vital-record, military, or archival sources when accuracy is essential.

7. What should I save from an obituary for genealogy?

Save the full name, dates, relatives, residence, birthplace, military details, funeral home, cemetery, service locations, and the obituary URL. These facts can lead to other records and family members.

8. How can I locate a veteran’s grave after finding an obituary?

If the person served in the U.S. military, search the VA Nationwide Gravesite Locator using the name and available birth or death information. It can locate many burials in participating veteran cemeteries.

9. What if the obituary lists a cemetery but no grave number?

Contact the cemetery office with the deceased person’s full name and death or burial date. Ask for the cemetery’s internal locator, such as section, block, lot, plot, row, or grave number.

10. Should I use third-party obituary websites instead of the funeral home’s site?

Third-party sites can provide useful clues, but the funeral home’s own obituary page should normally be checked first for notices it publishes. Use other sources mainly to fill gaps, locate older records, or verify details.

A Practical Way to Search Without Missing Important Details

Start with the official Falls Funeral Home obituary search, record every useful name, date, relative, service location, and cemetery clue, and then verify only the details that require another source. If the notice names a cemetery, contact that cemetery for the exact grave location. If the person was a veteran, check the VA locator. If you need legally recognized death information, use the appropriate state or local vital-record office.

This approach keeps the search focused: use the obituary for the person’s life and funeral context, then use the most authoritative record available for burial, military, or civil-record confirmation.
