Le Mars & Akron · Northwest Iowa obituary guide

Rexwinkel Funeral Home Obituaries

Rexwinkel Funeral Homes publishes its current obituary archive on rexwinkelfh.com for families served through its Le Mars and Akron, Iowa locations. The official archive includes more than a simple name box: users can search a loved one, search obituary text, limit results by date, identify Veteran obituaries and subscribe to future obituary notifications.

Quick answer: start with Rexwinkel Funeral Homes’ official obituary page, find the person’s individual memorial and verify each service event separately. A funeral home may handle the arrangements while the funeral, church service, cemetery or graveside event takes place at another address.

Official locations

Le Mars and Akron

Rexwinkel Funeral Homes currently lists two Iowa facilities: one in Le Mars and one in Akron.

Verify Rexwinkel’s current locations

Rexwinkel Funeral Home — Le Mars 107 12th St SE
Le Mars, IA 51031
(712) 546-7107
Rexwinkel Funeral Home — Akron 601 Torbert Blvd
Akron, IA 51001
(712) 568-2721
Old-address warning: older directories or archived pages can show former business names or a former Akron address. Rexwinkel’s own history states that the business was renamed Rexwinkel Funeral Homes in 2016 and that a new Akron location was built at 601 Torbert Blvd in 2020. For current contact or travel, use the funeral home’s live location page rather than an old directory listing.

For another Iowa obituary search where the same funeral-home name can point readers toward several providers or locations, see the site’s Powers Funeral Home obituary guide.

How to Search Rexwinkel Funeral Home Obituaries

Open Rexwinkel’s official obituary directory

Begin at rexwinkelfh.com/obituaries rather than relying on a copied newspaper, social-media or third-party obituary page.

Search the person’s full name

Enter the first and last name in the “Find a loved one” search. Keep a middle name or initial available for identity checking.

Simplify the search if no match appears

Try surname only, nickname, maiden name, former surname, shortened first name or another reasonable spelling.

Use obituary-text search when you know another clue

Rexwinkel’s archive provides an obituary-text search field. A place, family name or other known term may help distinguish people with similar names.

Use the date range for an older or time-specific notice

If you know approximately when the death occurred, use the available “Date of Death From” and “To” controls to narrow the directory.

Open the person’s complete memorial

Do not stop at a listing card. The full memorial can contain the obituary, visitation, prayer service, funeral, church, cemetery, guestbook or other event details.

Verify the correct person

Compare the name, dates, locality and other family-approved details before sharing the page or using its service schedule.

Read every event separately

A visitation can be at Rexwinkel while the funeral is at a church and the burial is at a separate cemetery. Treat every event block as its own destination.

Recheck before travel and call when uncertain

Reopen the official memorial shortly before leaving. Call Le Mars at (712) 546-7107 or Akron at (712) 568-2721 when a time or venue remains unclear.

Rexwinkel’s Obituary Archive Has Useful Extra Search Tools

Rexwinkel’s current obituary system offers several features that can make a difficult search easier.

Find a loved one Use the main name search when you know the deceased person’s published name.
Veterans Only The archive provides a Veteran-obituary filter for notices identified by the funeral home as Veteran memorials.
Search Obituary Text Search wording inside obituary notices when a name alone is not enough.
Date of death range Narrow results with From and To dates when you know approximately when the death occurred.
Obituary notifications Rexwinkel provides an official email-alert option for newly posted tributes.
Individual memorial page Open the full memorial for the service schedule rather than treating the directory preview as complete.
Use Rexwinkel Search Tools Official Obituary Notifications
Notification reminder: email alerts are useful for newly posted notices, but an alert should not replace reopening the individual memorial before an upcoming service. Event information can be added or clarified after a notice first appears.

What a Rexwinkel Memorial Page May Include

Individual memorial content differs by family, but Rexwinkel memorial pages can separate several after-death events and tribute options.

Obituary notice Family-approved biographical and remembrance information.
Visitation Date, hours and venue for receiving family and friends.
Prayer or funeral service A separate event with its own date, time and destination.
Church service Some funerals are held at a church rather than the Rexwinkel building.
Graveside or cemetery service Burial information can appear as a separate event and location.
Guestbook or memorial options Tribute, flowers or other remembrance tools may appear when available for that memorial.

For another Iowa obituary system where the service can be in a funeral home, church, cemetery or another venue, see the site’s Waterbury Funeral Home obituary guide.

Service-Day Checks Before You Leave

Event Verify Do not assume
Visitation Date, start/end time and exact location. The funeral is at the same address.
Prayer / funeral service Starting time, venue name and full address. Rexwinkel’s business address is always the service venue.
Church service Church name, street address and scheduled time. A funeral-home map will take you to the church.
Graveside / burial Cemetery, time and any procession instructions. Burial occurs at the funeral-home property.
Real Rexwinkel memorial pattern: official memorial pages can list visitation at Rexwinkel Funeral Home and the funeral the next day at a church, with burial as another event. Always use the address printed beside the specific event you plan to attend.

The Heritage Funeral Home Sioux Falls obituary guide covers the same service-location problem for another regional funeral provider serving families near northwest Iowa.

Rexwinkel Funeral Home Addresses, Phones & Maps

If you see an older Akron address online: compare it with Rexwinkel’s live location page before navigating. The funeral home’s current site identifies 601 Torbert Blvd as the Akron facility.

Funeral Prices and Arrangement Questions

This guide does not publish estimated Rexwinkel funeral or cremation prices. Current costs depend on the goods and services selected, so obtain current price information directly from the funeral home.

Useful questions to ask Rexwinkel

  • What is the current price for the exact service or arrangement being considered?
  • Can I receive the current General Price List?
  • Which goods and services are optional?
  • What charges come from Rexwinkel and what charges come from cemeteries or other providers?
  • Are transportation, obituary, clergy, cemetery or death-certificate charges separate?
  • Can I review the written statement of the selections before authorizing the arrangements?

The Federal Trade Commission’s Funeral Rule gives consumers rights involving telephone price information, written price lists and itemized funeral selections.

Read the FTC Funeral Rule Contact Rexwinkel
After opening the FTC page: review the sections on telephone price information and the General Price List. Then ask Rexwinkel for the current prices of the exact goods and services you are considering instead of relying on third-party estimates.

Iowa Death Certificates After a Rexwinkel Funeral

A Rexwinkel obituary is not a certified death certificate. Iowa Health and Human Services maintains statewide vital records, while county recorders serve as local registrars for records within their authority.

Iowa statewide route Iowa HHS provides official certified-record ordering instructions and explains available ordering methods and processing information.
Plymouth County route Plymouth County Recorder provides certified vital records for eligible records within the county’s authority. Both Rexwinkel funeral-home locations are in Plymouth County, but the funeral home’s location does not prove that the death occurred there.
Iowa HHS: Request a Certified Record Plymouth County Vital Records
After opening the Iowa HHS page: confirm that Iowa registered the death, review entitlement and identification requirements, choose the available ordering route, check current processing information and verify the current fee before submitting an application.

Plymouth County Recorder

Plymouth County Courthouse
215 4th Ave SE
Le Mars, IA 51031

Recorder telephone: (712) 546-4020

As reviewed October 25, 2026, Plymouth County lists a $20 certified-copy fee for eligible county vital records. Its instructions also require proof of entitlement and identification, and mailed requests require the signature procedure described by the county.

County-versus-state rule: use Plymouth County only when the county has the record and you meet its eligibility requirements. If the death occurred or was registered elsewhere, use the appropriate Iowa county or the statewide Iowa HHS route.

For another Iowa-focused example of choosing the correct official record route after finding an obituary, see the Waterbury Funeral Home obituary guide.

Estate and Probate Steps Are Separate From Rexwinkel Funeral Arrangements

Rexwinkel Funeral Homes handles funeral services; it does not determine whether an Iowa estate must be opened or which court procedure applies. Iowa Judicial Branch guidance states that an estate or probate matter is not required for every deceased person, although one may be necessary to transfer property, pay debts or complete other estate tasks.

Start with Iowa probate guidance Review Iowa Judicial Branch information about estates, wills and probate before assuming a formal estate case is necessary.
Use Plymouth County only when appropriate Rexwinkel being located in Le Mars or Akron does not by itself determine probate jurisdiction. Confirm the correct county for the estate.
Iowa Probate, Estates & Wills Plymouth County Clerk of Court

Plymouth County Clerk of Court

215 4th Avenue SE
Le Mars, IA 51031

Clerk of Court: (712) 546-4215

After opening Iowa’s probate guidance: determine whether an estate proceeding is actually needed, locate any will, identify property and debts, confirm the correct county, and contact the appropriate Clerk of Court or a qualified attorney for case-specific filing guidance.

Veteran Burial Benefits and Social Security After a Death

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs

Veteran burial and memorial benefits

Eligible Veterans, service members and family members may qualify for VA burial or memorial benefits, including certain cemetery, headstone, marker, burial-allowance or memorial options.

Open official VA burial and memorial benefits

After opening: choose the benefit that applies, review eligibility, gather required military or supporting records and follow the current VA application instructions.

Social Security Administration

Death reporting and survivor benefits

SSA states that funeral homes generally report deaths to Social Security. If that does not happen, the family should follow SSA’s official reporting instructions. Certain family members may also qualify for survivor benefits or the lump-sum death payment.

Open SSA: What to do when someone dies

After opening: check whether the death needs to be reported, then review survivor-benefit and lump-sum payment eligibility for the family member involved.

Can You Trust Third-Party Rexwinkel Obituary Pages?

Local newspapers and obituary directories can help you discover a name, but upcoming service information should be checked against the current Rexwinkel memorial before you travel or share the schedule.

Use third-party pages as clues They can help identify the deceased person or point toward Rexwinkel as the funeral provider.
Watch for old business details Older pages can preserve a former address, former business name or historic contact information.
Use Rexwinkel for final verification Check the current individual memorial or call the current Le Mars or Akron number before an upcoming event.

If the person or service has connections across the Iowa–South Dakota region, the site’s Luce Funeral Home obituary guide is another useful example of separating the funeral provider from the actual service and cemetery location.
