What Funeral and Memorial Services Are Available?

Visitation
A viewing or gathering may be held before the funeral. Confirm its starting and ending times.
Funeral or memorial
A ceremony may be held in a chapel, church or another family-selected location.

What If a Wallace & Wallace Recent Obituary Is Missing?
Try these searches
- Last name only.
- Nickname or middle name.
- Maiden or previous surname.
- Another serving chapel.
- A wider date range.
- Hometown or nearby county.
- Local newspaper listings.
Possible reasons
The family may not have approved public publication yet, the notice may appear under a different name, or the family may have chosen private arrangements.
A missing public obituary does not prove whether a person has died.
Next step: Call the appropriate Wallace & Wallace chapel and ask whether any family-approved public obituary or service information is available.

How to request a certified death certificate
Greenbrier and Fayette County Record Shortcuts

These are county fees, not the statewide Charleston fee. Confirm record coverage, identification and availability before paying.

For certified copies or full records, the clerk directs users to call 304-574-4226.

Wallace Memorial Cemetery and Burial Records
Some Wallace & Wallace obituaries identify Wallace Memorial Cemetery as the final resting place. Other notices name different cemeteries, so never assume everyone served by this funeral home is buried at one location.
Wallace Memorial Cemetery
16155 Midland Trail West
Crawley, WV 24931
Phone: 304-392-9811
The funeral home’s official website provides this cemetery contact and location.

- Copy the exact cemetery name.
- Confirm whether the cemetery is in Crawley or another community.
- Call the cemetery office if you need an available section or grave location.
