How to Find a Shuda Funeral Home Obituary
-

Open the official obituary page
-

Search or browse by name
Try the full published name first. If no result appears, try last name only, maiden name, married name, nickname, middle initial, or a simpler spelling.
-
3
Open the full memorial
Do not rely on the list preview. The full page can include service times, visitation, interment, flowers, tribute wall, memorial tree options and cemetery details.
-

Verify the correct person
Compare name, dates, family details, hometown, parish, church, cemetery, school or community clues before sharing the obituary.

Understand the memorial
What a Shuda Funeral Home Memorial Can Include
Service-day routing
Before Driving: Stevens Point, Plover, Church or Cemetery?
Shuda memorials can involve more than one location. A visitation may be at the funeral home, a funeral Mass may be at a church, and burial or graveside service may be at a cemetery. Do not assume the funeral-home office is the only destination.
Service-day checklist
- Confirm whether the memorial says visitation, funeral service, Mass of Christian Burial, memorial service, graveside service or celebration of life.
- Check whether visitation and service are at the same location.
- Map the cemetery separately when burial, interment or committal is listed.
- Ask about accessible entrance, parking and procession timing if needed.
- Reopen the memorial the morning of the service for any updates.

Immediate need
What to Do When a Death Has Just Occurred
If Shuda Funeral Chapel or Plover Funeral Home will handle arrangements, call the funeral home directly. If the death occurred outside Portage County, outside Wisconsin, or under medical-examiner review, ask what release, transport and certificate steps apply before arrangements move forward.
-

Call the funeral home
Use (715) 344-2113 to ask what immediate information is needed.

Explain where the death occurred
Home, hospital, hospice, nursing facility, another county or another state can change release, transfer and death-registration steps.
-
3
Tell staff if an official investigation is involved
Unexpected, accidental, unattended or legally reportable deaths may involve medical-examiner or coroner-style coordination before release.
-
4
Prepare personal information
Have legal name, date of birth, Social Security number if available, marital status, parents’ names, Veteran status, next-of-kin contacts and cemetery or cremation preferences ready.
-
5
Ask about certificates and timing
Ask whether the funeral home is ordering initial certified copies or whether the family should request copies through Portage County Register of Deeds or Wisconsin Vital Records.

Funeral pricing
How to Get Current Shuda Funeral Home Prices Without Guessing
A current itemized General Price List was not visible in the public material reviewed for this guide, so this page does not invent burial, cremation, chapel, casket, cemetery or transfer charges. Ask Shuda Funeral Home directly for current itemized pricing.
| Ask about | Useful question | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| General Price List | “Can you provide your current General Price List and explain which items apply to our situation?” | The GPL is the central price document for funeral goods and services. |
| Basic services fee | “What is your current basic services fee?” | This is commonly separate from facilities, staff, merchandise and outside costs. |
| Transfer into care | “What is the transfer charge, and what distance or after-hours terms apply?” | Place of death, distance, weather and release timing can affect the total bill. |
| Visitation / funeral | “What are the charges for visitation, chapel service, church service, staff, hearse and graveside service?” | Funeral-home service, church service and cemetery service can be separate line items. |
| Cremation | “What cremation options are available, and what is included in each option?” | Direct cremation, viewing and memorial service are different choices. |
| Outside costs | “Which cemetery, church, clergy, newspaper, permit, death-certificate or third-party charges are separate?” | Outside costs may not be funeral-home charges. |
Death certificates
Portage County and Wisconsin Death Certificate Route
An obituary is not a certified death certificate. For a Wisconsin death, use Wisconsin Vital Records or the correct county Register of Deeds route. Portage County Register of Deeds provides a local certificate route at the Portage County building in Stevens Point.
-
1
Confirm where the death occurred
Use Wisconsin and Portage County routes only when the death record is registered in Wisconsin and the local office can issue the copy.
-
2
Ask what the funeral home filed
Confirm whether Shuda submitted death-registration information or ordered initial certified copies for the family.
-
3
Choose county or state route
Use Portage County Register of Deeds or Wisconsin Vital Records according to the record location, date and current issuing rules.
-
4
Prepare ID and eligibility proof
Certified copies generally require identification and a qualifying relationship or legal need.
-
5
Order enough certified copies
Banks, insurance, property transfers, retirement accounts, probate and benefits may require certified copies, but not every organization needs an original.
Estate / probate
Portage County Probate After a Shuda Obituary
An obituary does not open probate. In Portage County, probate questions generally start with the Register in Probate office at the Portage County Courthouse. The office maintains probate records and coordinates administrative functions for probate matters, but staff cannot give legal advice.
Portage County Register in Probate
Portage County Courthouse
2nd Floor
Stevens Point, WI 54481
Phone: (715) 346-1490
Office hours shown by the county: Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., closed legal holidays.
Before calling about an estate
- Have the deceased person’s legal name and date of death.
- Know whether there is an original will.
- Identify the decedent’s last legal residence.
- List titled property, accounts, debts and likely heirs.
- Ask procedure questions; use a Wisconsin attorney for legal advice.
Veteran families
Wisconsin Veteran Burial and Memorial Resources
If the deceased was a Veteran, tell Shuda early. Military honors, cemetery scheduling, burial allowance, headstone or marker requests, burial flags and Presidential Memorial Certificates may require service documentation.
-
1
Tell the funeral home about Veteran status
Military honors and cemetery routing should be discussed before services are finalized.
-
2
Locate service records
DD-214 or equivalent discharge paperwork is often needed for burial or memorial benefits.
-
3
Check Wisconsin DVA cemetery resources
Use Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs for state veterans cemetery and military-honors information.
-
4
Use VA.gov for federal benefits
Review burial allowance, national cemetery, marker, flag and memorial-certificate rules directly through VA.
Social Security
Death Reporting and Survivor Benefits
Social Security says funeral homes commonly report deaths to SSA. Families should give the funeral director the deceased person’s Social Security number when the funeral home is making the report. Survivor benefits, when available, are a separate SSA process and are not created automatically by an obituary.
