  • Read the latest visitation and funeral details.
  • Check whether the event is at Peck’s chapel, a church or a cemetery.
  • Ask about public visiting, parking and accessible entrances where needed.
  • Call for urgent arrangements rather than relying on an online message alone.
Travel tip: The funeral home’s main location is on Highway 31 SW in Hartselle. Use the exact event address from the individual obituary rather than assuming every service is held at the funeral home.

Peck Funeral Home Burial, Cremation and Memorial Services

Cremation with funeral

Peck describes a traditional funeral or viewing followed by cremation as one available option.

Memorial after cremation

Families may choose a chapel, church or another venue for a memorial with stories, music or scripture.

Urn burial or placement

The funeral home describes urn interment, columbarium placement and other choices for cremated remains.

When asking for prices: Request separate figures for professional services, transportation, merchandise, cremation, cemetery charges and any outside providers. An online description is not a personalised estimate.

Peck Funeral Home Prices, Pre-Planning and Available Resources

Discuss preferences, chosen services, cemetery matters and how a prepaid arrangement can be changed, cancelled or transferred.

Helpful preparation guides

The funeral home provides guidance on writing an obituary, creating a eulogy and understanding funeral customs.

Consumer tip: A funeral provider’s General Price List is not the same as an all-inclusive final bill. Ask about cemetery costs, opening and closing, grave marker, obituary publication and other third-party charges separately.

Alabama Death Certificate Fees, Eligibility and Ordering

For deaths occurring in Alabama, the Alabama Department of Public Health issues certified death records. Alabama death certificates are restricted for 25 years after the death.

Record serviceCurrent chargeImportant detail
First certified copy/search$15Includes one copy if found, or a Certificate of Failure to Find.
Additional same-record copy$6 eachOrdered at the same time.
Expedited request$15 additionalApplies when using the expedited service.
Online / telephone orderExtra feesVitalChek service and optional delivery charges.

Who may request a recent death certificate?

For a death within the last 25 years, Alabama allows certain eligible people to request the record, including parents, spouse, children, siblings, an entitled grandchild, family or estate legal representatives and the informant named on the certificate.

Proper identification is required for restricted certificates. Records older than 25 years may be obtained by anyone who pays the proper fee.

How to order through Alabama Vital Records

  1. Confirm the state of death. Use Alabama’s system for deaths that occurred in Alabama, even if the person lived in another state.
  2. Choose the order method. Apply through an Alabama county health department, by mail or through the authorised VitalChek service.
  3. Prepare the deceased person’s details. Provide full legal name, death date and death county or city; include other requested information you know.
  4. Check your eligibility and ID. Supply the required identification and relationship information when the record is restricted.
  5. Pay the appropriate fee. Review extra expedited or vendor charges before submitting.
  6. Save the order confirmation. Use the state or vendor support route if there is a delay or correction issue.
Alabama shortcut: You can apply for an Alabama death certificate at any Alabama county health department, not only in Morgan County. Most certificates can be issued while you wait if the record is available and the application is complete.

Official Morgan County Archives

Save a trip: Call the Archives before visiting to check whether the newspaper year, bound volume or probate document you want is accessible. Archives staff perform limited paid research when available.

Find Older Hartselle and Morgan County Obituaries

The Morgan County Archives maintains valuable local newspaper collections for family-history research, including original bound volumes.

The Hartselle Enquirer

The Morgan County Archives reports original bound copies from 1926 onward.

This is a useful source for older Hartselle death notices, community announcements and funeral information.

The Decatur Daily

The Archives reports original bound copies dating from 1919. Earlier newspaper material may be available on microfilm.

Probate and family-history records

County holdings include older estate and probate documents, photographs, family materials and historical county records.

Remote research fees

Morgan County Archives lists basic research at $15 for Alabama residents and $25 for out-of-state residents, including the first 10 photocopies. Extra copies are $1 each.

Practical archive-search steps

  1. Write the full name, possible nickname and approximate death year.
  2. Identify whether Hartselle, Decatur, Falkville, Priceville or another local community is most relevant.
  3. Choose The Hartselle Enquirer or The Decatur Daily based on town and year.
  4. Search for the surname with words such as β€œdied,” β€œfuneral,” β€œburial” or β€œservices.”
  5. Try relatives’ names if the original notice is difficult to identify.
  6. Contact Morgan County Archives with the newspaper title, approximate date and name before requesting research.
Historical gap: Alabama’s statewide death certificates began in 1908. For earlier deaths, newspaper, cemetery, church, probate and local-history sources are often more appropriate starting points.

Search Nearby North Alabama Communities

Peck Funeral Home notices include people from Hartselle and other local communities. A search restricted to Hartselle can miss a matching memorial.

Hartselle

Start with the funeral home’s official directory and local newspaper material.

Decatur & Priceville

Check Morgan County connections, local churches and cemeteries.

Falkville & Danville

Search hometown, church, school or cemetery names in addition to the person’s surname.

Somerville & Eva

Try nearby funeral providers and local cemetery or newspaper references when required.

Moulton

Lawrence County connections may be relevant, even when the arrangements are handled in Hartselle.

Arab & Cullman area

Search adjacent communities when the person lived or died outside Morgan County.

Place-of-death rule: An obituary’s funeral-home location does not establish where the death occurred. For certified records, use the state of death, not simply the town where the funeral was held.

Cemetery and Burial Information

Peck Funeral Home notices often identify the cemetery and whether burial follows the funeral. The exact location depends on the individual arrangements.

Local church cemeteries

Many north Alabama services involve church or community cemeteries. Confirm the complete cemetery name and address; similar names may be used in different towns.

Funeral home and cemetery are separate

For grave location, interment records, decoration rules or cemetery visiting hours, contact the cemetery or its responsible organisation directly.

How to confirm a burial location

  1. Open the original Peck obituary and locate the Burial or Interment section.
  2. Copy the cemetery name and associated town.
  3. Check whether the graveside service is public.
  4. Confirm the cemetery address before travelling.
  5. For older burials, contact the cemetery or use Morgan County Archives research resources.

Veteran Funeral Honors and Burial Benefits

Peck Funeral Home has a dedicated Veteran Services page describing VA eligibility, military funeral honors, burial allowances and memorial items.

Military funeral honors

Ask the funeral director about the documentation and lead time needed to arrange military honors.

VA burial allowance

Eligible survivors may qualify for certain funeral, burial, transportation or plot expenses. Application deadlines depend on the benefit type.

Grave markers and flags

VA may provide markers, burial flags and Presidential Memorial Certificates to qualifying veterans and families.

National cemetery option

Alabama National Cemetery
3133 Highway 119
Montevallo, AL 35115
205-665-9039

It is one Alabama option, not necessarily the cemetery selected for a Peck funeral.

What to prepare

  • DD-214 or other accepted discharge record.
  • Death certificate when required.
  • Funeral-home invoices and receipts.
  • Spouse or dependent documentation if applicable.
  • Burial and cemetery information.
Check eligibility first: Federal burial and memorial benefits depend on the veteran’s service and the benefit requested. Not every expense qualifies, and not every family member is eligible.

Verify a Funeral Provider and Understand Funeral Price Rights

Alabama Funeral Service Board

The Alabama Board of Funeral Service regulates funeral-service establishments and professionals. Its official website provides licensing and regulatory resources.

FTC Funeral Rule

The Federal Trade Commission requires funeral providers to share prices by phone when requested and provide a General Price List at the required stage of an in-person arrangements discussion.
