Find Recent Heckart Obituaries, Service Times and Memorial Details
If you are looking for Heckart Funeral Home obituaries, the most reliable starting point is the funeral home’s own obituary page. Heckart Funeral Home & Cremation Services serves Sedalia and surrounding Missouri communities and publishes individual memorial pages that may include life dates, family information, visitation times, funeral or memorial service details, burial information, memorial contributions, guestbook options and, for some services, livestream information.
This guide brings the useful details together in one place so you can quickly find a recent notice, confirm a service time, locate the funeral home, research an older death or continue from an obituary to a cemetery or burial record.
Official Heckart Funeral Home Obituary Search
The funeral home’s official obituary section is the best place to check first because it is maintained by the funeral home handling the arrangements. The page includes a searchable obituary list and also offers an option to subscribe for notifications when new obituaries are posted.

Use the funeral home’s live page for the newest notices, updated service schedules and individual memorial pages.
Open Heckart ObituariesHow to Find a Heckart Funeral Home Obituary
- Open the official obituary page. Visit the Heckart Funeral Home obituary section rather than relying only on a general search engine result.
- Enter the person’s surname. Start broad. A surname often works better than entering a long full name that may differ from the name used in the obituary.
- Try name variations if necessary. Search maiden names, married names, nicknames, initials and common shortened names. For example, a person known as Bill may be listed as William.
- Open the individual memorial page. Check the person’s full name and life dates before relying on the service information.
- Read the service schedule carefully. Visitation, funeral, memorial service, graveside service and burial may occur at different locations and times.
- Check for updates before traveling. Funeral details can change. Reopen the official obituary shortly before a scheduled service, especially if weather or travel is involved.
- Use the phone number if something is unclear. Call 660-826-1750 when an obituary is incomplete, a service is pending or you need confirmation from the funeral home.

Recent Heckart Funeral Home Obituaries
The official obituary list is updated as notices are published. During an October 2026 review, recent listings included names such as Shirley Mae Dick, Lyle Leo Felten, Clara Mae Moore, Glenn E. Waggoner and Billy G. “Bill” Schilb.
Some notices are published before the complete obituary is ready. If a page says that a full obituary will be added later, check again. Service information may still be available even when the biographical portion is incomplete.
How to Read Visitation, Funeral and Burial Details
Do not assume every event takes place at the funeral home. A memorial page may show several locations. A visitation could be held at Heckart Funeral Home, followed by a church funeral and burial at a separate cemetery.
Before attending a service, confirm these five details
- The deceased person’s full name.
- The exact date of the visitation or service.
- The start time and time zone. Heckart listings use Central Time for local services.
- The venue name and full street address.
- Whether burial or inurnment follows at another location.
Heckart Funeral Home Contact Information
903 S. Ohio Ave.
Sedalia, MO 65301
The funeral home’s website states that phone assistance is available 24/7. For an immediate death, pending service information, obituary correction or question about arrangements, contacting the funeral home directly is usually the final and most reliable step.
Cemetery and Burial Information Connected with Heckart
An obituary may identify a cemetery, but not always a section, lot or grave number. Heckart’s website also provides information for Memorial Park Cemetery and Highland Sacred Gardens in Sedalia.
Phone: 660-826-7791 or 660-826-1750
The cemetery information page lists ground burial, mausoleum crypts, a cremation columbarium, a veterans section, markers and monuments, and pre-arrangements among the available options.
Open the official cemetery information page.
If you are trying to locate the actual grave
- Start with the obituary. Write down the cemetery name and burial or inurnment date.
- Contact the cemetery office. Ask for section, lot, row, plot or grave number.
- Save family names from the obituary. Spouses, parents and siblings can help identify a family plot.
- Compare with burial records. Use the FindAGraves grave and burial research guide to continue with cemetery, veteran and death-record sources.
How to Find an Older Heckart Obituary or Death Record
If the person does not appear in the current Heckart obituary search, do not assume no record exists. Older funeral notices may have been published in newspapers, archived systems or historical records that are not part of the current website search.
For Missouri deaths from 1910 through 1975
The Missouri State Archives provides a searchable death-certificate database with digitized images. You can search by name, year, month and county. Historical death certificates can contain birth information, parents, spouse, occupation, funeral home and burial details.
Search Missouri historical death certificates
For an older Sedalia or Pettis County death, search the official Missouri State Archives database and use Pettis County as a location filter when appropriate.
Missouri Death CertificatesFor deaths before 1910
The Missouri State Archives also maintains a pre-1910 birth and death records database. Coverage is not complete for every county or every year, so a missing result does not prove that the death did not occur there.
Search Missouri pre-1910 birth and death records.
For more recent Missouri death certificates
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Bureau of Vital Records maintains more recent death records. Eligibility, identification and certified-copy rules can apply, especially for newer records.

Search Missouri State Archives death certificates, historical newspaper collections and cemetery records. For a Missouri death more than 50 years old, the State Archives death-certificate database is especially useful.
9. Can an obituary help me find a grave?
Yes. Look for the cemetery name, burial date, church, spouse and relatives. Then contact the cemetery office for the section, lot, row, plot or grave number if those details are not published online.
10. Are service details on third-party obituary sites always current?
Not necessarily. Third-party pages can be useful for discovery, but the funeral home’s own obituary page should be checked before attending a visitation, funeral or graveside service because it is more likely to contain the latest family-approved information.
A Practical Way to Use This Information
For a recent death, begin with the official Heckart obituary search and confirm the person’s name, service date and location there. For an older death, move from the obituary to Missouri historical records and cemetery information. If the obituary lists a cemetery but not the exact grave, contact the cemetery office with the person’s full name and burial date.
This approach gives you the obituary, service information, family clues and burial trail without sending you through a long chain of unrelated websites. The official funeral home or cemetery should only be needed at the final stage when you need the newest notice, confirmation, an arrangement decision or plot-level information.
