How to Find a Gentry Funeral Home Obituary
Open the official obituary listing
Go directly to Gentry Family Funeral Service Obituaries. This is the primary live source for notices published by the funeral home.
Look for the full name and death date
Recent notices appear first. Match the person’s name with the date, hometown, age, spouse, parents, or other family details so you do not open the wrong notice.
On a computer, you can also use Ctrl + F on Windows or Command + F on Mac to look for a surname on the page currently displayed.
Open the individual memorial page
Select the person’s obituary instead of relying only on the short preview. The full page is where service details, visitation times, burial information, church or chapel location, and family instructions are normally shown when they have been published.
Confirm service information before you leave home
Write down the date, time, venue name, street address, and whether the event is a visitation, funeral, memorial, celebration of life, or graveside service. A visitation and funeral may be held at different locations.
Use the obituary’s action options only after confirming the person
If the notice offers flowers, directions, condolences, donations, or another family-requested action, use the controls on that person’s official memorial page. This avoids sending something for a different person with a similar name.
What Information Can You Usually Find in a Gentry Obituary?
The exact amount of information depends on what the family chooses to publish. A full notice may contain much more than a death announcement.

How to Find an Older Gentry Obituary
Older notices may no longer appear on the first obituary screen. If you know approximately when the person died, use the following order instead of searching random obituary websites first.
- Open the official Gentry obituary page.
- Move through older obituary pages until you reach the expected year or month.
- Try the person’s legal name, nickname, maiden name, married surname, middle name, or initials.
- Check a spouse, parent, child, or sibling name if you are unsure how the deceased was listed.
- Broaden the location beyond Yadkinville because Gentry serves families connected with East Bend, Jonesville, Elkin, Boonville, Hamptonville, Clemmons, and surrounding North Carolina communities.
- If the death is too old for the online archive, use local vital records, cemetery records, newspaper archives, church records, or genealogy sources.
If the Obituary Does Not Appear
A missing online result does not necessarily mean Gentry Family Funeral Service was not involved. Publication can depend on family wishes, timing, spelling, website migration, and how old the record is.
Problem |
What to try |
|---|---|
Name not found |
Try maiden name, nickname, initials, middle name, married name, and common spelling variations. |
You only know the town |
Check all three Gentry locations and nearby communities instead of assuming the service was in Yadkinville. |
You know a relative but not the deceased’s exact name |
Search the relative’s surname and compare family-member lists in likely notices. |
Very old death |
Use death certificates, cemetery registers, church records, newspapers, county archives, and genealogy records. |
Need the burial place |
Read the full obituary for a burial or graveside section. If it is absent, contact the funeral home or cemetery directly. |
Need exact service confirmation |
Use the newest version of the individual obituary or call the funeral home before traveling. |
How to Get a Death Certificate in Yadkin County
If the person died in Yadkin County and you need an official record rather than an obituary, the Yadkin County Register of Deeds maintains death certificates for deaths recorded in the county.
Confirm that Yadkin County is the correct jurisdiction
Funeral location and place of death are not always the same. Use the county where the death was officially recorded.
Check whether you qualify for a certified copy
Yadkin County states that public vital records can be inspected, but North Carolina restricts who may receive a certified copy. Eligible requesters include specified close relatives and people requesting a record for certain legal purposes.
Choose in-person, online, or mail service
The county provides in-person, online, and mail request routes. For mailed requests, follow the county’s current instructions carefully, including identification and payment requirements.
Check the current fee before submitting
At the time this guide was reviewed, Yadkin County listed the certified-copy fee as $10 per certificate. Government fees can change, so confirm the amount on the county page before paying.
