Find Heritage Funeral Home Obituaries and Verify Sioux Falls Service Information
Heritage Funeral Home maintains its own obituary archive for Sioux Falls families. You can search by name, browse surnames alphabetically and open the full memorial for service information, condolences, photos and other family-authorized details.
This guide shows which Heritage tool to use, what each official link opens, how to avoid a wrong service address and what to do when the obituary you need is older or difficult to find.
Choose the correct route
Which Heritage Obituary Tool Should You Use?
Open the live obituary directory
Use Heritage’s current obituary page rather than relying on a dated list copied into another website.
Open live Heritage obituaries →Use alphabetical browsing
Heritage lets visitors browse its obituary archive by the first letter of the person’s last name.
See how A–Z browsing works →Check the event address
Heritage may handle the arrangements while a funeral takes place at a church, cemetery or another Sioux Falls venue.
Run the service check →Search the Heritage archive first
Older Heritage memorial pages remain accessible online, so do not assume an older death requires a separate public-record search.
See older-obituary help →For current 2026 notices
Use Heritage’s Live Directory for the Newest Obituaries
A funeral-home obituary feed can change several times between article updates. For that reason, this guide does not freeze a list of names and present it as “today’s latest” after those names become outdated.
The official Heritage directory is the correct place to see the names currently published by the funeral home.
Heritage’s own obituary archive. You can search a name, browse obituary listings, sort the archive and open an individual’s complete memorial.
A newly published obituary or corrected service time can appear on the funeral home’s page after an independent guide was last reviewed.

Three Practical Ways to Find a Heritage Funeral Home Obituary
-
1
Open Heritage’s obituary page
Start with the funeral home’s archive rather than an unrelated people-search form.
-
2
Enter the person’s name
Try the complete name first. If that does not work, simplify it to the surname.
-
3
Use alphabetical browsing if necessary
Select the first letter of the person’s last name and scan that portion of the archive.
-
4
Open the complete obituary
The full memorial can contain service information, family-authorized details and tribute options not visible in the archive list.
-
5
Confirm the person
Compare dates, Sioux Falls or other locality references and other public information before relying on the match.
Useful for older notices
Heritage’s A–Z Last-Name Archive
Heritage provides alphabetical filtering by the first letter of the deceased person’s last name. The archive can also be sorted by date or alphabetically.
This official Heritage page shows the obituary archive filtered to last names beginning with “A,” together with the site’s full A–Z controls.
Historical memorials
Older Heritage Sioux Falls Obituaries Are Still Searchable
Heritage’s online archive contains memorial pages from well before the current year. Official examples available through the archive include notices from the early 2010s as well as more recent years.
That means an older death should be searched in Heritage’s archive before assuming you need a newspaper archive or another obituary provider.
What the individual obituary can do
A Heritage Memorial Page Is More Than the Obituary Text
Before leaving home
Check the Service Venue Instead of Assuming It Is at Heritage
Three common venue patterns visible in Heritage memorials
That is Heritage Funeral Home’s address, not a guarantee that it is the address of the service you intend to attend.
Remote attendance
How to Find a Heritage Funeral Livestream
Heritage does not use one universal livestream link for every funeral. Individual memorials can contain a family-specific YouTube or Zoom link when remote viewing is offered.
Official Heritage memorial pages have included YouTube livestream links for church services and Zoom links for memorial services held at Heritage.
Families can choose in-person-only, private or non-streamed services.
Memorial actions
Heritage Gives Families Several Ways to Receive Memories
Public guestbook
Visitors can leave a message in the memorial’s guestbook when that option is available.
Private condolence
Some Heritage memorial pages provide a separate private-message option for communication with the family.
Photo album
Heritage memorials can include a photo album and a route for visitors to contribute meaningful photographs.
Sympathy card
A “Send to Family” sympathy-card option appears on many memorial pages.
Flowers
Flower ordering can be available directly from the memorial when the family has not requested something different.
In lieu of flowers
Read the obituary first. Heritage memorials can contain a charity or organization requested by the family.
If the memorial requests a donation, body donation, private service or another specific form of remembrance, follow that information first.
Another useful official tool
Heritage Also Maintains a Funeral and Visitation Calendar
Heritage’s calendar groups scheduled visitations, funerals, memorials and graveside events by date. This can help when you remember the service day but not the person’s complete name.
When the calendar is useful
- You know the service date
- You know the church but not the obituary spelling
- You want to distinguish visitation from funeral time
- You need to check whether burial is a separate event
What it can show
- Event type
- Scheduled time
- Heritage Funeral Home events
- Church or cemetery services
- A route back to the obituary
Heritage’s official service calendar. Use it as a date-based alternative to the name-search obituary directory.
What Heritage describes publicly
Heritage’s Approach to Celebration of Life Services
Heritage’s service information focuses on creating a funeral or celebration that reflects the individual rather than treating every service the same.
Obituary as part of the tribute
Heritage describes obituary writing as one way to acknowledge the person’s values, qualities and accomplishments.
Music, readings and stories
The funeral home suggests poems, favorite music, scripture and personal stories as possible parts of a meaningful service.
Photos and personal items
Picture boards, video tributes and meaningful objects connected to hobbies or interests can be incorporated into the memorial.
Heritage’s own explanation of how its funeral directors help families build personalized Celebration of Life services.
Military-family search clue
Veteran Memorials May Include a Separate Cemetery Event
Official Heritage memorials show that a veteran’s service can involve Heritage Funeral Home followed by a separate graveside service at South Dakota Veterans Cemetery.
For example, an official Heritage veteran memorial from 2025 listed a memorial service at Heritage and a later graveside service at the veterans cemetery.
Official staff information
Heritage Funeral Directors in Sioux Falls
Heritage publicly identifies several licensed funeral directors on its staff page. For most obituary-search questions, you do not need a specific director; the main funeral-home number is the practical starting point.
Heritage states that Peterson has been with the funeral home since 2015 and became a partner in 2023. She is licensed in South Dakota and Minnesota.
Heritage states that Corcoran has served Sioux Falls-area families since 2001 and became a Heritage partner in 2015.
Heritage lists Schelske as a funeral director licensed in South Dakota and Iowa who joined Heritage in 2023.
Heritage lists Stefanyuk as a funeral director and publishes the main 605-334-9640 number with her staff entry.

When the family needs Heritage directly
Who to Contact When an Online Obituary Search Is Not Enough
Call rather than guessing when timing matters
If you cannot find an expected obituary, need to confirm a service soon or are contacting Heritage because a death has occurred, use the funeral home’s published phone number.
You do not need to submit private personal records to FuneralHomeObituaries.org.
Have the person’s name and approximate date of death ready. If you are confirming a service, also mention the event you are trying to attend.
Do not send Social Security numbers, medical records, identification documents, financial information or other private family paperwork to this independent website.
Address and directions
Heritage Funeral Home Sioux Falls Address and Google Map
Heritage Funeral Home

Always use the location printed beside your specific event.
