How to Search Haller Funeral Home Obituaries
The official obituary listing includes recent memorials, a search field, a Wall of Honor link for Veterans served, obituary subscription tools, and page navigation for older notices.
- Open the official obituary listing.
Use hallerfuneralhome.com/obituaries. - Search the full name first.
Try first and last name together. If the person is not found, search by surname only. - Try alternate names.
Use maiden name, married name, nickname, middle initial, former surname, or spelling variation. - Use page navigation for older notices.
The official listing includes multiple pages, so an older memorial may not appear on the first screen. - Open the complete memorial.
The listing preview may not show every visitation, funeral, cemetery, flower, guestbook, livestream, memorial-tree, or directions detail. - Check the Wall of Honor for Veteran memorials.
If the person was a Veteran, use the official Veteran-focused link in addition to the standard obituary search. - Verify the correct person.
Compare life dates, residence, relatives, church, cemetery, community details, and service city before acting. - Save the official memorial URL.
Share the link instead of copying service times into messages that may become outdated.

Current Prices, General Price List and What to Ask

| Current price information | “Can you confirm whether the current General Price List is still the February 21, 2025 version, and provide any updates?” | A PDF may not reflect later changes to services, merchandise, cremation, transport, or third-party charges. |
| Arrangement meeting | “When can the family meet with a funeral director, and what documents or personal information should we bring?” | The funeral home may need legal name, next-of-kin, service choices, clothing, cemetery information, obituary notes, and benefit details. |
| Death certificates | “Who prepares the death-certificate information, and how many certified copies should the family order?” | Banks, insurance, Social Security, pension, title, property, and probate tasks may need certified copies. |
| Venue logistics | “Is this event at Haller, a place of worship, a cemetery, or another venue?” | The funeral home may handle arrangements while the service or burial happens elsewhere. |
Cremation, Funeral Services, Veteran Services and Monuments
The official Haller pages describe funeral and cremation services, an on-site crematory, Veteran funeral services, merchandise and monument support. Match the family’s wishes and the person’s memorial before assuming a service type.
How to Get an Ohio Death Certificate After a Haller Obituary
A funeral-home obituary does not replace a certified death certificate. Ohio death records are handled through Ohio vital-records channels and local health departments/registrars. The CDC/NCHS directory lists Ohio death records from 1971 to the present through the state office and gives a copy cost of $21.50 with a phone number to verify current fees.
- Confirm that the death occurred in Ohio.
- Wait until the record has been registered if the death was very recent.
- Prepare the deceased person’s full legal name, date of death, place of death, and your relationship or lawful purpose.
- Prepare accepted identification, mailing information, and the number of certified copies needed.
- Choose the state vital-records route or the local health department/registrar route if available.
- Ask banks, insurers, pension administrators, title companies, and probate court how many certified originals they need before ordering extras.
