Older South Carolina death records
South Carolina death registration began in 1915. Earlier deaths may require historical newspapers, church burial registers, cemetery information and genealogy archives rather than modern vital-record searches.
For older records, Greenville County Library can help identify available historical death indexes and documents.
What if the Death Certificate Is Not Yet Final?
Some deaths are reviewed by a county coroner. Investigations, autopsies or toxicology testing can delay the final cause or manner of death.
Funeral-home records
Ask Fletcher whether the death-registration process has been completed and which office is responsible for the certificate.
Coroner investigation
When the Greenville County Coroner handles a case, it may take additional time to complete an investigation.
