New Hope Funeral Home Obituaries
This guide covers New Hope Funeral Home in Sunnyvale, Texas, whose official website is newhopefh.com. Its obituary archive publishes current and older memorials for Sunnyvale, Dallas County and families throughout the surrounding Dallas–Forney–Mesquite area.
Quick answer: use New Hope Funeral Home’s official obituary page, open the person’s full memorial, and verify the visitation, funeral, cemetery, graveside, reception or livestream there. The verified funeral-home address is 500 East Hwy. 80, Sunnyvale, TX 75182, phone (972) 226-2111, but a specific service can be held somewhere else.
Do not confuse this funeral home with New Hope Funeral Home in Alabama. A separate business at 2500 Oak Grove Road, New Hope, AL 35760 uses nhfh.net and phone (256) 723-4241. This article covers the Sunnyvale, Texas provider at newhopefh.com.
“New Hope Funeral Home” is a same-name search problem. The site’s Clark Funeral Home obituary guide explains the same location-first rule: match the city, state, official domain and phone number before using an obituary.
Prepare a Name, Then Search New Hope’s Official Archive
This field only helps you prepare the spelling. This guide does not run the funeral home’s obituary database. The actual obituary search takes place on New Hope Funeral Home’s official website.
After opening the archive: search the full name first → open the complete individual memorial → compare life dates and locality → read each service block separately → use the address attached to the event you plan to attend.
If an exact-name search gives you several unrelated providers, the Walker Funeral Home obituary guide gives another practical example of checking the official domain and location before choosing an obituary result.
How to Search New Hope Funeral Home Obituaries
Open the Texas New Hope obituary archive
Start at newhopefh.com/obituaries. Confirm the page identifies Sunnyvale and Dallas County, Texas.
Search the full name first
Enter the first and last name and open a likely result.
Try a broader name variation
If no result appears, remove the middle name or suffix and try the surname, maiden name, nickname, former surname or another reasonable spelling.
Open the complete memorial
The full page can contain more useful information than a search-engine preview, including an online program, service schedule, directions, livestream or family tribute instructions.
Verify the correct person
Compare the person’s life dates, residence and other family-approved details before sharing the memorial or making travel plans.
Read every event separately
Visitation, funeral, burial and reception can have separate start times and separate addresses.
Check for livestream or online-program links
Some New Hope memorials provide these features, but they are person-specific and should not be assumed for every funeral.
Recheck the memorial shortly before travel
Use the current official page instead of an old screenshot or copied notice when the service is upcoming.
Call if any detail remains unclear
Contact New Hope Funeral Home at (972) 226-2111 and ask staff to confirm the exact public event you plan to attend.
What a New Hope Memorial Page May Include
Individual memorials differ, but New Hope’s current obituary system can provide several task-specific details beyond the obituary text.
Full obituary
Family-approved biographical and remembrance information.
Visitation
Date, start/end time and named location.
Funeral service
Ceremony time, chapel, church or other venue.
Burial / graveside
Cemetery and event-specific directions when published.
Livestream / online program
Some memorials contain remote-viewing or program links.
Flowers / memorial trees
Tribute options when the family or memorial page makes them available.
Information gain: recent official New Hope memorials show that even when visitation and funeral are held at New Hope, burial or reception can occur at another location. Other memorials show a church funeral followed by burial back at New Hope Memorial Gardens. Always read the complete event schedule.
Service-Day Checks Before You Leave
Event
Verify
Avoid this mistake
Visitation
Date, start/end time, chapel or venue and complete address.
Assuming the funeral will be at the same location.
Funeral / memorial
Exact start time, chapel/church name and address.
Automatically navigating to 500 East Hwy. 80.
Burial
Cemetery name, time and whether a procession is involved.
Assuming every burial is at New Hope Memorial Gardens.
Reception / gathering
Separate venue, address and whether it is public.
Treating the reception as part of the cemetery event.
Livestream
The stream belongs to the correct person’s service and check the displayed time zone.
Reusing a livestream from a different memorial.
The site’s Davis Funeral Home obituary guide explains the same routing principle: a funeral-home address in a page footer should never replace the church or cemetery address printed for a specific event.
If a Death Has Just Occurred: New Hope’s Own Preparation Checklist
New Hope’s official “When a Death Occurs” guidance says the first funeral-home step, after the appropriate legal pronouncement of death, is to call (972) 226-2111. The funeral home then uses an online Planning Center to help families provide arrangement information.
Information New Hope says families may need
Vital information
Full name, maiden name when applicable, address, birth date/place and parents’ names.
Death-certificate details
Social Security number, education, occupation and other information requested by the funeral director.
Veteran documents
Branch, rank, service information and a DD214 or discharge certificate when available.
Obituary preparation
Family information, achievements, affiliations, hobbies and a photo.
Service preferences
Viewing, visitation, ceremony, clergy, pallbearers and date/location preferences.
Burial / insurance information
Burial property and relevant life-insurance details if they are being used for funeral expenses.
After opening: read “Contact the Proper Authorities” first → review “Begin to Make Arrangements” → scroll to the funeral-director information list → gather only the documents relevant to your situation → call New Hope if you are unsure what should be entered in the Planning Center.
This map is for the funeral home location, not necessarily every service venue.
New Hope Memorial Gardens Is Adjacent—but Do Not Assume Every Burial Is There
New Hope Funeral Home also operates New Hope Memorial Gardens at the same published address, 500 East Hwy. 80 in Sunnyvale. Its official cemetery information covers traditional burial, cremation burial and columbarium options.
Individual obituaries can still direct families to another cemetery, including a veterans cemetery or another family-selected burial location.
After opening: confirm that the person’s memorial actually names New Hope Memorial Gardens → check the service schedule → review cemetery directions → if you need lot, marker, interment or decoration information, use the cemetery’s own current rules rather than assuming funeral-home rules apply.
New Hope Publishes Current Funeral and Cremation Pricing
Unlike many funeral homes that publish little or no pricing online, New Hope currently provides a public pricing page and links to its General Price List. That page is the best source for current New Hope prices because packages, merchandise and third-party charges can change.

Texas Death Certificates: An Obituary Is Not a Certified Record
A New Hope obituary is a memorial notice, not a certified Texas death certificate. Texas DSHS Vital Statistics provides the statewide route, while Dallas County Clerk can issue qualifying Dallas County suburban records, including records for Sunnyvale.
Texas DSHS statewide route
Current state fee: $20 for the first death certificate and $3 for each additional copy ordered at the same time.
Dallas County local route
Current county fee: $21 for the first death certificate and $4 for each additional copy of the same certificate ordered at the same time.
Dallas County routing warning: Dallas County Clerk specifically lists Sunnyvale among the cities for which it can issue death certificates, but deaths occurring inside the City of Dallas use the City of Dallas vital-statistics route instead. Use the place of death—not the funeral-home address—to choose the record office.
Texas online-order micro-guide: open DSHS Death Records → choose “Order Online” → confirm that you are a qualified applicant → prepare the deceased person’s name, date of death and city/county of death → verify your identity → review the live fees → submit payment through the official Texas ordering route.
Dallas County micro-guide: first confirm the death occurred in a Dallas County city served by the county clerk → review qualified-applicant rules → choose the online, in-person or mail instructions → prepare acceptable ID → if mailing, follow the notarization requirement → verify the current fee before submitting.
Dallas County Probate: Funeral Location Does Not Automatically Choose the Court
New Hope Funeral Home is in Sunnyvale, but funeral arrangements and estate jurisdiction are separate. Dallas County’s probate courts handle matters including wills, estates and heirship when Dallas County is the correct jurisdiction.
Dallas County Probate Courts
George Allen Courts Building
600 Commerce Street, 7th Floor
Dallas, TX 75202
County Clerk Probate Division
Phone: (214) 653-7099
Published hours: 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, except court-approved holidays.
After opening: verify Dallas County is actually the correct jurisdiction → identify whether there is a will → review the probate-court and County Clerk information → gather the death certificate and estate documents → use the court’s current filing instructions or obtain legal advice when the estate is disputed, complex or involves unclear ownership.
Veteran Burial Benefits and Social Security After a Death
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Veteran burial and memorial benefits
Eligible Veterans and family members may qualify for burial in a national cemetery, burial allowances, a headstone or marker, a burial flag and other memorial benefits.
After opening: choose the benefit you need → check eligibility → locate military discharge paperwork such as DD214 when available → follow the current VA application or scheduling instructions.
Social Security Administration
Death reporting and survivor benefits
SSA says funeral homes generally report deaths to Social Security. Eligible spouses, children and certain other family members may also qualify for survivor benefits or the one-time lump-sum death payment.
After opening: check whether the death was reported → review survivor eligibility → review lump-sum death-payment rules → follow SSA’s current instructions for the family member who may qualify.
Should You Trust a Third-Party New Hope Obituary?
Third-party obituary websites can help identify a possible person, but “New Hope Funeral Home” is especially easy to misroute because unrelated funeral homes use the same name in different states.
Check the domain
The Sunnyvale funeral home covered here uses newhopefh.com.
Check the location
Match Sunnyvale, Texas and 500 East Hwy. 80 before calling or sending money.
Use the current memorial
Verify service, livestream, cemetery and family instructions on the individual’s official page.
The site’s Heritage Funeral Home obituary guide explains why an official memorial is a better final source than a copied obituary when a venue, livestream, donation request or family instruction may have changed.
