| Dates | Separates a current notice from an older obituary. | The notice belongs to another year. |

Exact address
The funeral home, church and cemetery may be in different towns or counties.

Copy the cemetery name exactly and confirm it before travelling.

When to Use NC Vital Records Instead
North Carolina Vital Records is the statewide route when the county office is not appropriate, the exact local office is uncertain or the request needs state-level processing.
| State service | Current amount | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Standard certificate search | $24 | Covers one three-year search period and includes one certificate if found. Search fee is nonrefundable. |
| Additional same certificate | $15 each | For additional copies ordered with the request. |
| VitalChek processing | $13.95 | Current state-listed processing fee for the authorized remote-order route. |
| Death certificate amendment | $15 processing | The state amendment route also requires the $24 search fee, making the current base total $39 before extra copies. |
How to Find Older Cunningham, Roxboro and Person County Obituaries
A recent funeral-home website is not always the best tool for a death from decades ago. Person County has useful local government and state archive sources.
Person County Register of Deeds
The office retains vital records, cemetery records, grave-removal records and genealogy information. This can help connect an obituary search with official local records.
North Carolina State Archives newspaper holdings
The State Archives newspaper guide lists historical Roxboro newspapers, including Courier-Times holdings and predecessor papers from the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Examples of Roxboro newspaper holdings in the State Archives guide
| Publication | Archive coverage shown |
|---|---|
| Courier-Times | 1945–1972 in the State Archives newspaper guide. |
| Roxboro Courier | 1910–1917, with additional partial holdings. |
| Person County Times | 1936–1941 and 1943 holdings. |
| Person County Courier | Late-1800s holdings. |
Better historical-search method
- Start with surname and approximate death year.
- Add Roxboro, Person County, Hurdle Mills, Timberlake or another known local place.
- Search a spouse, parent, church or cemetery when the name is common.
- Try words such as “died,” “death,” “funeral,” “burial” or “interment.”
- Use the Register of Deeds for local vital/cemetery records.
- Use the State Archives newspaper holdings when the notice is older than current web archives.
How to Confirm a Cemetery or Burial Location
Cunningham memorials may list burial at a church cemetery, memorial garden or cemetery outside Roxboro. Use the obituary as the first clue, then confirm the location.
Verify a North Carolina Funeral Establishment or Professional
The North Carolina Board of Funeral Service provides public lookup tools for funeral businesses and individual professionals.
Look up a business
Use the Board’s business lookup to verify a funeral establishment’s current permit.
Look up an individual
Use the individual lookup for a funeral service professional, funeral director or other regulated licensee.
Microsteps
- Open the North Carolina Board of Funeral Service license lookup.
- Choose business or individual.
- Search the exact legal name first.
- If no match appears, use fewer search fields.
- Check the current permit or license status before treating another directory as proof.
North Carolina Funeral Complaint and Preneed Help

Business or professional complaint

Program help line: 800-826-6200.
North Carolina Victim Compensation funeral claim basics

Veteran Burial and Memorial Benefits
Eligible North Carolina Veterans may qualify for federal VA benefits and North Carolina State Veterans Cemetery benefits. Start with Person County Veterans Services when you need help identifying the correct benefit route.
State cemetery burial
North Carolina provides a burial plot and necessary interment services at no charge for a qualified Veteran at its state Veterans cemeteries.
Government marker
State Veterans cemeteries use government-furnished headstones, and the state says there is no charge for installation.
Prepare DD-214
The DD-214 is the primary document used to verify honorable military service for state cemetery eligibility.
Funeral Price Rights Before You Agree to Pay
The Federal Trade Commission Funeral Rule gives families important price and choice protections.
Ask for prices by phone
A funeral provider must give price information over the telephone when you ask.
Get the General Price List
When discussing arrangements or prices in person, ask for the itemized General Price List and keep it.
Choose individual services
You generally can choose the goods and services you want instead of buying an unwanted package.
Separate cash-advance items
Ask which charges come from the funeral home and which come from the cemetery, newspaper, clergy, flowers or another provider.
Flowers, Donations, Guestbooks and Payment Safety
Flowers
Use the flower or Resources route linked from the correct Cunningham memorial. Confirm the deceased person and service location first.
Memorial donations
If the family names a charity, open the charity’s official website before entering payment details.
Guestbook
Assume messages are public. Do not post Social Security numbers, home addresses, account information, medical claims or family disputes.
Unexpected payment requests
Call the funeral home using 336-599-4075 before paying an unfamiliar link sent through text, email or social media.
Obituary Correction vs. Death Certificate Amendment
Contact the funeral home
For a wrong spelling, service time, relative or biography detail, contact Cunningham & Associates about the public memorial.
Use the official amendment process
Changing the obituary does not change the certified death certificate. North Carolina has a separate legal amendment process.
After You Find the Obituary: Useful Next Tasks
Social Security
Ask whether the funeral home reported the death. Contact Social Security if reporting is not confirmed.
Death certificates
Ask banks, insurers and estate professionals how many certified copies they actually require.
Veteran benefits
Gather DD-214, death certificate, funeral bill and marriage/dependent documents when relevant.
Insurance and banks
Ask which proof each organization needs before mailing a certified original.
Cemetery record
Save the exact cemetery name, town and any plot or section information the family provides.
Keep a contact log
Record dates, names, case numbers, payments and follow-up dates in one secure place.
Common Cunningham & Nelson Search Mistakes
Thinking the current site is wrong
The current official obituary website uses Cunningham & Associates Funeral Services branding.
Using only a Google snippet
Open the full memorial before relying on dates or service details.
Assuming every record is in Person County
The funeral home may serve a family whose death occurred elsewhere.
Ordering from the state first
For a Person County death, compare the $10 county certified-copy route before using the $24 state search route.
Sending flowers before verifying
Confirm the correct person, date and delivery location first.
Sharing private details
Keep medical, financial, account and private-address information out of public guestbooks.
