Zacherl Funeral Home Obituaries: Search Notices, Services & Fond du Lac Help
Zacherl Funeral Home’s official obituary system serves families in Fond du Lac and surrounding Wisconsin communities. The individual memorial page is the important page to open: it can contain visitation and funeral times, the actual service venue, cemetery details, family memorial requests, Tribute Wall tools and other updates.
Zacherl Funeral Home is located at 875 E. Division Street, Fond du Lac, WI 54935. Its published telephone number is (920) 922-6860. Do not assume every funeral takes place at that address; recent Zacherl memorials also direct families to churches, cemeteries and other communities.
Zacherl Funeral Home: Quick Facts
How to Find a Zacherl Funeral Home Obituary
-
Open Zacherl’s official obituary listing. Start at Zacherl Funeral Home obituary listings, not a copied obituary on another website.
-
Use the “Find your loved one” search. Enter the first and last name. If the full name produces no useful result, try the surname alone.
-
Open the complete individual memorial. Do not rely only on the directory card. The full memorial can contain the service schedule, cemetery, family request and Tribute Wall.
-
Confirm you have the correct person. Compare life dates, Fond du Lac or another locality, relatives and other family-approved public details.
-
Read the service section separately from the biography. Look for visitation, funeral, Mass, memorial, burial or private-interment wording.
-
Check the event venue. “Zacherl Funeral Home is serving the family” does not necessarily mean the public event is at 875 E. Division Street.
-
Review memorial instructions before ordering anything. Follow any family-specific wording about flowers, memorial trees, charities or other donations.
-
Share the official memorial link. Some Zacherl memorial pages explicitly protect obituary content from unauthorized reproduction. Sharing the official URL also gives recipients the latest version.

Before You Attend: Separate Visitation, Funeral and Burial
Recent Zacherl memorials show several different routing patterns. One obituary may hold visitation at Zacherl and burial at a separate cemetery. Another may list a church for both visitation and Mass, with burial somewhere else. The funeral home’s address is therefore only one possible destination.

Zacherl’s own planning page provides a useful preparation list. Gathering these items before the meeting can reduce repeat calls and missing information.
Zacherl Funeral Pricing: What Is Current and What Should Be Rechecked
Zacherl maintains an official Pricing and Payment Options page. That is the correct starting point for current arrangements.
| Pricing question | Verified information | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| General Price List | The official pricing page provides a route to Zacherl’s General Price List. | Open the pricing page → choose the General Price List → confirm its effective date before using any dollar amount. |
| Payment methods | The official pricing page lists cash, check, Visa and Mastercard. | Confirm the accepted payment method for your arrangement before the meeting. |
| Credit-card charge | The current pricing page states that credit-card transactions incur a 3.5% processing fee. | Ask whether the fee applies to the amount you intend to pay by card. |
| Down payment | Zacherl’s FAQ says it does not provide funeral financing and states a 50% downpayment is requested at the funeral arrangement. | Confirm the exact current deposit requirement before the appointment, especially when insurance will fund part of the service. |
| Life insurance | The FAQ says an assignment form is requested from the beneficiary when a life-insurance policy will fund the funeral. | Bring policy information and ask what assignment paperwork is required. |

If the Family Needs Probate or Estate Authority
The funeral home does not determine which probate procedure an estate needs. For a person who was domiciled in Fond du Lac County, the county Probate / Register in Probate office is the local starting point.
Social Security and Veteran Tasks After a Death
Social Security
SSA says funeral homes generally report deaths, so families normally do not need to report the death separately. If the funeral home does not report it, SSA asks for the deceased person’s name, Social Security number, date of birth and date of death.
SSA: What to Do When Someone Dies
Eligible spouses, ex-spouses, children and dependent parents may qualify for survivor benefits. A qualifying spouse or child may also qualify for the $255 lump-sum death payment.
Veterans benefits
If the deceased served in the military, keep the DD-214 with the arrangement documents. VA benefits can include cemetery eligibility, burial allowance, transportation reimbursement and memorial items depending on eligibility.
For deaths on or after October 1, 2026, VA’s current burial-allowance page lists updated allowance amounts; use the VA page for the current eligibility and amount rather than an old article or brochure.
Fond du Lac Grief-Support Resources Listed by Zacherl
Zacherl’s bereavement page includes both funeral-home support and community resources. These are separate from obituary search and should be contacted directly before attending a group or program.
