Texarkana Funeral Home Obituaries: Search Official Memorials, Locations and Records
Texarkana Funeral Home obituaries are published through the official Texarkana Funeral Homes obituary search, which covers the Texas Boulevard location in Texarkana, the Arkansas location on Parkway Drive, and Chapelwood Funeral Home in Nash.
Because Texarkana sits across the Texas-Arkansas line, the correct next step depends on the individual memorial: a service may be at the Texas chapel, Arkansas chapel, Chapelwood, a church, cemetery, veterans cemetery or another venue. This guide shows how to search the official obituary page, confirm the correct location, order death certificates, and handle estate, SSA and Veteran-benefit tasks after a death.
Reviewed September 30, 2026. Recheck the individual official memorial before traveling, sending flowers or sharing service information.
Texarkana Funeral Home Obituaries: Four Facts to Know First
Official obituary source
Start with texarkanafuneralhome.com/obituaries, which includes name search, obituary-text search, date filters, veterans-only search and location filters.
Three main location paths
Texas Boulevard in Texarkana, Parkway Drive in Texarkana, Arkansas, and Chapelwood in Nash, Texas.
Border-city caution
The family may live on one side of the state line while the death certificate, funeral, burial or estate task belongs to the other side.
Map rule
Use the event address printed in the memorial. Do not assume every event happens at the funeral-home location.
Fast workflow: open the official obituary page → search the name → open the full memorial → identify the handling location → read each event block → map the exact venue → recheck before travel.
Make Sure You Have the Correct Texarkana Funeral Homes Location
Texarkana Funeral Homes family
The official Texarkana Funeral Homes website lists obituary search and multiple related service locations, including Texarkana Funeral Home – Texas, Texarkana Funeral Home – Arkansas and Chapelwood Funeral Home.
- Texas: 3515 Texas Boulevard, Texarkana, TX 75503
- Arkansas: 4801 Parkway Drive, Texarkana, AR 71854
- Chapelwood: 1015 N. Kings Hwy, Nash, TX 75569
Identity checks before acting
- The memorial is on texarkanafuneralhome.com.
- The full memorial names Texas, Arkansas, Chapelwood or another service venue.
- The phone number matches the location you plan to call.
- The obituary confirms the person’s name, dates, relatives and service location.
- The cemetery or church address is checked separately from the funeral-home office.
Do not use “Texarkana” alone as the travel route. A memorial can name a Texas funeral home, an Arkansas church, a Nash chapel or a cemetery outside either city center.
For another location-sensitive funeral-home search, see the Loflin Funeral Home Asheboro guide. For service-route mistakes to avoid, the Haysi Funeral Home obituary guide explains why a funeral-home address and cemetery address can be different.
How to Search Texarkana Funeral Home Obituaries
- Open the official Texarkana Funeral Homes obituary page.
- Use the “Find a loved one” search box first.
- Search the full name if you know it.
- If no result appears, try surname only, maiden name, nickname, middle initial or a simpler spelling.
- Open the full individual memorial, not just a preview or search snippet.
- Confirm the person using dates, relatives, residence, church, cemetery or handling location.
- Read every service block separately: visitation, funeral, memorial, graveside, burial and reception may not share one address.
- Share the official memorial URL instead of copying the full obituary text.
After opening the full memorial: check service times, location names, full addresses, guestbook tools, flower options, donation instructions and whether the memorial names the Texas, Arkansas or Chapelwood location.
If a full-name search fails, try a shorter surname search. The Keefe Funeral Home obituary guide explains why shorter searches often work better for older or differently indexed memorials.
Using the Official Search Filters Without Missing a Memorial
| Official search option | Use it when | Practical tip |
|---|---|---|
| Find a loved one | You know the person’s name. | Start broad with surname only if the full name has punctuation, initials or a nickname. |
| Obituary text | You remember a spouse, parent, employer, church, military branch, school or town mentioned in the obituary. | Search one unusual word at a time rather than a full sentence. |
| Date range | You know the approximate date of death. | Use a wider range if the death date and obituary posting date may differ. |
| Veterans only | You are specifically looking for a Veteran memorial. | Remove the veterans filter if no result appears; the obituary may not be tagged. |
| Location filter | You know Texas, Arkansas or Chapelwood handled the arrangement. | Try “All Locations” first if the family lived in a different city than the service location. |
If a Texarkana Funeral Home Obituary Is Missing or Hard to Find
| Problem | Likely reason | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| No result by full name | The memorial may use a nickname, maiden name, initials or alternate spelling. | Search surname only and compare dates, relatives and location clues. |
| Wrong location appears | The same obituary site can include Texas, Arkansas and Chapelwood results. | Open the full memorial and check the handling location and event venue. |
| Death was very recent | The family and funeral home may still be finalizing obituary text or service times. | Check again later or call the location handling arrangements. |
| Only a third-party obituary appears | Search engines may show local news, Legacy, Echovita or other copies before the official memorial. | Use the third-party result as a clue, then confirm on texarkanafuneralhome.com. |
| Service location crosses the state line | Texarkana families often have connections in both Texas and Arkansas. | Map the exact venue address printed in the service block, not just the handling funeral home. |
What a Full Texarkana Funeral Homes Memorial Can Tell You
IdentityName, dates, family details and Texarkana-area clues help confirm the correct person.
Handling locationThe memorial can identify Texas, Arkansas, Chapelwood or another route connected to the arrangement.
VisitationCheck the date, time window and exact venue. Visitation may be at a funeral home or another site.
Funeral or memorial serviceThe service can be at the chapel, a church, a cemetery chapel or another venue.
Burial or intermentThe cemetery is often a separate destination and should be mapped separately.
Flowers / donationsUse the official memorial’s flower or memorial-gift instructions, especially when the family requests donations instead of flowers.
For another multi-event service example, see the Pellerin Funeral Home obituary guide, where visitation, service and burial may be separate locations.
Service-Day Check: Texas, Arkansas, Chapelwood, Church or Cemetery?
- Open the person’s official memorial again before traveling.
- Write down each event separately: visitation, funeral, memorial, graveside, burial and reception.
- Copy the full venue name and address attached to each event.
- Check whether the event is at Texarkana Funeral Home – Texas, Texarkana Funeral Home – Arkansas, Chapelwood, a church, a cemetery or another site.
- Open a map for the exact event address, not only the funeral-home business address.
- Call the listed location if the memorial gives only a venue name without enough address detail.
- Allow extra travel time when crossing from Texas to Arkansas or from Texarkana to Nash.
Do not map by “Texarkana Funeral Home” alone. A person’s arrangements may be handled by Texarkana Funeral Homes while the funeral, graveside service or reception happens somewhere else.
If a Death Has Just Occurred
The right first call depends on where the death occurred and which Texarkana Funeral Homes location the family intends to use. If the death was unexpected or outside a medical facility, call emergency personnel first. If the death occurred in a hospital, hospice or care facility, staff may have required procedures before the funeral home is called.
Before calling
- Identify whether the family wants Texas, Arkansas or Chapelwood.
- Confirm whether the death occurred at home, hospital, hospice, care facility or another location.
- If the death was unexpected, call emergency personnel first.
- Identify the legal next of kin or authorized decision-maker.
- Gather any prearrangement, cemetery, insurance or military paperwork.
Questions to ask
- Which Texarkana Funeral Homes location will handle arrangements?
- When can the family meet with a funeral director?
- What documents or personal information are needed?
- Who starts the death-certificate paperwork?
- When will the obituary be posted or updated?
- How many certified death certificates should the family consider ordering?
Practical first call: call the verified location → explain where the death occurred → ask what must happen before transfer or arrangements → request current price information before selecting services.

Funeral Prices, GPL and What to Ask Before You Decide
Current prices should come from the Texarkana Funeral Homes location handling the arrangements. Do not rely on an old third-party estimate, a copied obituary page or another funeral home’s price information.
Ask for current pricesCall Texas, Arkansas or Chapelwood directly and ask for current price information for the services being considered.
Ask for the GPLRequest the General Price List when discussing funeral arrangements.
Ask what is optionalSeparate required charges from optional services, merchandise and upgrades.
Ask about outside costsCemetery, clergy, flowers, death certificates, permits, newspaper notices and third-party cash advances may be separate.
- Confirm which Texarkana Funeral Homes location is handling arrangements.
- Call the verified phone number listed for that location.
- Ask for current price information by phone.
- Request the General Price List during arrangement discussions.
- Ask which charges are funeral-home charges and which are third-party or cash-advance charges.
- Request a written statement of goods and services selected before signing.
Official consumer source: open the FTC Funeral Rule and review telephone price rights, General Price List rights, casket price list rules and itemized statement rules before choosing services.
Death Certificates After a Texarkana Funeral
An obituary is not a certified death certificate. Because Texarkana crosses state lines, the certificate route depends on where the death occurred, not where relatives live or where the service is held.
| If the death occurred in | Likely official route | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Texarkana, Texas / Bowie County, Texas | Use Texas DSHS/Texas.gov, Texarkana Texas Vital Statistics or the correct local registrar/county route. | Completed application, valid ID, payment, eligible requester information and the number of certified copies needed. |
| Texarkana, Arkansas / Miller County, Arkansas | Use Arkansas Department of Health vital records or the correct Arkansas local/state route. | Legal name, death date, place of death, photo ID, payment and eligible requester information. |
| Nash, Wake Village or nearby Texas communities | Use the Texas route for the place where the death occurred. Chapelwood may handle arrangements even when the death record belongs to another city or county. | Ask the funeral home whether the record has been filed before making a special trip. |
| Another state or county | Use the vital-record office for the state and county/city where the death occurred. | Do not order from Texas or Arkansas simply because a Texarkana funeral home handled the service. |
Fast certificate rule: identify the place of death → choose Texas, Arkansas or another state route → check who may order → confirm ID and fee → order only the certified copies needed for banks, insurance, benefits, property and probate.
Estate and Probate Tasks: Texas Side vs Arkansas Side
Probate is separate from the obituary and funeral. The correct office depends on where the deceased person lived, where property is located, and which court has jurisdiction.

- The Bowie County Clerk’s office lists birth/death records, real-property records, probate and guardianship functions.
- Use a Texas attorney for legal strategy, disputed property, contested wills or unclear estate authority.
Arkansas-side starting points
- For Miller County matters, check the Miller County Clerk and circuit-probate route.
- Miller County Clerk information notes probate-court filing duties for decedent estate cases.
- Use an Arkansas attorney for legal advice, contested estates or unclear authority.
- Confirm where the deceased person was legally domiciled.
- Locate the original will if one exists.
- Order certified death certificates when needed.
- List real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, debts and heirs.
- Contact the correct Texas or Arkansas clerk/court route for procedure.
- Get legal advice when there is a dispute, multiple-state property or uncertainty.
