Find Cofield Mortuary Obituaries, Funeral Services and Burial Details

How to Search Cofield Funeral Home Obituaries

The quickest method is to start with the person’s name rather than browsing many pages. Cofield Mortuary maintains an official obituary search page that can be used for current and historical notices available in its online system.

1. Open the official obituary page.
   Go to the Cofield Mortuary obituary search at cofieldmortuary.com/obits.
2. Enter the deceased person’s name.
   Start with the last name if you are unsure of the exact spelling of the full name. If needed, try the first and last name together.
3. Try name variations if no result appears.
   Search a maiden name, married surname, nickname, middle name, initials or a shortened version of the first name. Older records may use a different form of the person’s name.
4. Open the individual obituary.
   Check the dates carefully to make sure you have the correct person, especially when several people have similar names.
5. Read the service section before traveling.
   Look for viewing or visitation information, celebration-of-life or funeral details, church or chapel address, burial location and the date and time of each event.
6. Confirm last-minute details.
   If you plan to attend a service and anything is unclear, call Cofield Mortuary at (252) 536-3171. A phone confirmation is especially useful when weather, family decisions or other circumstances may affect arrangements.

What You Can Usually Find in a Cofield Mortuary Obituary

An individual notice may contain much more than the date of death. The exact amount of information depends on what the family chooses to publish.

Recent Cofield Mortuary Obituary Activity

Recent obituary indexes in October 2026 show notices associated with Cofield Mortuary for people including Doris Ann Mitchell, Clifton Eugene Arrington, Lloyd Lee Barnes, James Walter Grant, Lloyd Epps, Norine Marks, William Ross, Peggy Ann High Peters, Travis Vincent Jr. and Portia Bea Kee Harding.

If You Cannot Find the Obituary

Not finding a name does not necessarily mean Cofield Mortuary did not serve the family. The record may use another spelling, may not yet be online, or the family may have chosen a limited public notice.

1. Search fewer words

Instead of entering the complete name, search only the surname. Then try the first name and surname without a middle name or suffix such as Jr., Sr., II or III.

2. Try maiden and married names

For women, search both the maiden surname and married surname when known. An obituary may be indexed under the name used at the time of death.

3. Search a nickname or middle name

A person known locally by a nickname may still be published under a legal first name, while some notices include the nickname between the first and last name.

4. Check nearby communities

Cofield Mortuary serves families beyond Weldon. Official obituary examples include residents or families connected with communities such as Roanoke Rapids, Halifax, Garysburg, Gaston, Jackson and other parts of northeastern North Carolina.

5. Call with identifying details

If the online search does not resolve the question, call (252) 536-3171. Have the person’s full name, approximate death date, city or county and a close relative’s name available. Those details make it easier to distinguish between people with similar names.

How to Confirm Funeral, Viewing and Burial Information

When you find an obituary, do not stop at the biography. Scroll through the entire page and look for headings such as Viewing, Celebration of Life, Funeral Service, Graveside Service, Interment or Services.

• Date: confirm the day and calendar date.
• Time: distinguish viewing hours from the actual funeral time.
• Location: a service may be held at Cofield Mortuary, a church, another chapel or a cemetery.
• Address: save the complete service address before traveling.
• Lie-in-state period: some notices provide an additional viewing period at the church before the service.
• Interment: note whether burial follows immediately or is listed separately.
• Livestream: use only the link or instructions provided for that particular service.

Planning Ahead with Cofield Mortuary

Cofield Mortuary also provides advance-planning options. Its official preplanning page allows a person or family to begin collecting contact information, biographical details and preferences for burial, cremation or mausoleum entombment, along with preferences for visitation and services.

Preplanning forms are not a substitute for understanding the actual contract, prices and funding terms. Before signing or paying for a preneed arrangement, ask for a written explanation of what is guaranteed, what may change, cancellation terms and how funds are handled.

Using an Obituary to Find a Cemetery or Grave

An obituary can be one of the strongest starting points when the real goal is finding a burial place. Cofield Mortuary notices may identify the cemetery directly, including church cemeteries, family cemeteries or municipal/private cemeteries.

1. Record the cemetery exactly as written.
   Save the cemetery name, town, road or church name if provided.
2. Record the burial or service date.
   This helps a cemetery office distinguish the correct interment.
3. Save family names from the obituary.
   Spouse, parents and children can help confirm a family plot or a person with a common name.
4. Contact the cemetery when you need a plot location.
   Ask for section, lot, row, grave number or other location information. An obituary normally identifies the cemetery but may not provide the exact grave coordinates.
