How to Search the Official Brooks & White Obituary List
Open the funeral home’s obituary section
Go to the Brooks & White obituary listings. This should be your first source for a recent death handled by the funeral home.
Search the surname first
If the complete name does not return the person you expect, try only the last name. Then try a maiden name, nickname, initials or a different spelling.
Open the individual obituary
Check the full memorial page instead of relying on a search-result preview. Important details can appear farther down the page under sections such as events, visitation, funeral service, interment or final resting place.
Write down the cemetery information
If a cemetery is named, save the cemetery name, street address, burial date, church name and any final-resting-place information. These details are useful if you later need to locate the grave.
Verify time-sensitive details before traveling
If you are attending a visitation, funeral or graveside service, recheck the obituary shortly before leaving. For clarification, call Brooks & White at (336) 599-3171.
What Information Can Be Found in a Brooks & White Obituary?
Not every notice contains the same information, but Brooks & White memorial pages can include several useful record clues.
- Full name and sometimes a nickname or maiden name
- Date of death and age
- Birthplace or Person County connection
- Names of parents, spouse, children, siblings and other relatives
- Church, occupation, military service or community information
- Visitation date and time
- Funeral, memorial or graveside service details
- Cemetery or final resting place
- Memorial donation instructions
- Tribute or condolence options
This makes an obituary useful for more than confirming a death. It can also help with genealogy, identifying relatives, distinguishing people with similar names and finding a cemetery.
If You Cannot Find the Obituary
A missing search result does not automatically mean Brooks & White did not handle the arrangements. Work through the possibilities below before giving up.
Problem |
What to Try |
Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
Exact name gives no result |
Search only the surname. |
The online notice may use a middle name, nickname or different first-name form. |
Searching for a married woman |
Try maiden and married surnames. |
Family records may use either name. |
Spelling is uncertain |
Remove the middle name and try spelling variations. |
Older records and family notices can differ in spelling. |
Very recent death |
Check again later or call the funeral home. |
The family may not have finalized or published the obituary yet. |
Older death |
Search the web using the person’s full name plus “Brooks White Roxboro obituary.” |
Older individual Brooks & White memorial pages remain discoverable even when they are not immediately visible in the newest listings. |
No online obituary exists |
Use Person County death records, cemetery records and local newspaper archives. |
An obituary is voluntary; an official death record may exist even when no obituary was published. |
Searching Older Brooks & White Obituaries
Brooks & White’s website contains memorial pages from earlier years, including records from the 2010s and 2020s. That means an older obituary may still be online even if it is not shown among the newest listings.
Search Google or Bing for:
"Full Name" "Brooks & White" Roxboro obituaryAlso try the person’s surname with a death year, spouse name or cemetery name.
For genealogy work, save the exact URL of the memorial page along with the date you accessed it. Online memorial content and service information can change over time.
Need an Official Death Record Instead of an Obituary?
An obituary is a family or funeral-home notice; it is not the same as a legal death certificate. If you need documentation for probate, insurance, property, benefits or another official purpose, use the appropriate vital-record office.
Person County Register of Deeds
The Person County Register of Deeds states that it maintains death records from 1913 to the present. Its current vital-record information lists:
- Certified copy: $10 each
- Uncertified copy: $1 each
- Office: Person County Register of Deeds, 21 Abbitt Street, Roxboro, NC 27573
- Uncertified copies are available to the public.
- Certified copies are restricted to eligible relatives, authorized representatives and certain people with a documented legal need.

How to Find the Cemetery From an Obituary
Many Brooks & White notices give enough information to move from an obituary to a burial search. Look specifically for phrases such as burial will follow, graveside service, interment or final resting place.
- Copy the cemetery name exactly. Church cemeteries may have similar names.
- Save the city or community. Roxboro, Hurdle Mills, Timberlake, Rougemont and nearby communities can appear in local notices.
- Record the burial or service date. It can help cemetery staff locate an interment record.
- Search close relatives. Spouses and parents are often buried in the same cemetery or family plot.
- Verify the plot with the cemetery. An obituary may identify the cemetery without giving section, lot or grave number.
For a broader burial-search process, use the FindAGraves grave and cemetery research guide, which explains how to combine funeral-home notices, official death records, cemetery offices and other burial clues.
