Shumate-Faulk states that its funeral home and chapel are adjacent to Wayne Memorial Park and that it has an on-site crematory, monument and marker sales, funeral planning, and an in-house full-service florist shop.

Before sending flowers, money or private information

  • Check that the domain is shumate-faulk.com.
  • Confirm the phone number is 1-919-734-5441 before discussing arrangements.
  • Use the individual memorial page, not only a search result card.
  • Do not assume every Goldsboro funeral notice is handled by Shumate-Faulk.
  • Verify the event address before buying flowers, scheduling travel or sharing directions.
Same-name / wrong-provider warning: Funeral-home names can be similar across states. If you are comparing providers or searching a common funeral-home name, our Davis Funeral Home obituary guide explains why checking the exact domain and location matters before acting.

Understand the memorial

What a Shumate-Faulk Individual Memorial Can Include

Obituary textFamily-approved life story, dates, hometown and remembrance details.
VisitationsSome notices list visitation time before a service or immediately after a service.
Funeral / celebration of lifeThe event may be in the chapel, at a church, at a cemetery or another venue.
Committal or burialRead the event block carefully when a committal, burial or graveside service is listed.
FlowersThe site states it uses local florists and sends service details to the florist when an order is placed.
Guestbook / condolencesIndividual memorials can provide tribute and condolence tools depending on the listing.
Memorial treesSome obituary systems provide memorial tree or plant-a-tree options.
Veterans’ benefitsThe official site includes a Veterans’ Benefits resource area; check eligibility separately with VA or a local VSO.
Recording / streamingIf a recording or webcast exists, it will be memorial-specific; do not assume every service is streamed.
Do not assume every memorial has every feature. Use only the buttons and details displayed on the exact Shumate-Faulk memorial you have verified.

Service-day routing

Before Driving: Funeral Home, Chapel, Cemetery or Another Venue?

Shumate-Faulk is located beside Wayne Memorial Park, but that does not mean every obituary event occurs at the funeral home or the cemetery. The official obituary listing examples show different service labels such as celebration of life, visitation, funeral service, committal service and burial.

Route A Funeral home / chapel Use 2873 US Hwy 117 only when the memorial identifies Shumate-Faulk or its chapel as the event location.
Route B Committal / burial Use the cemetery or committal location named in the memorial, not automatically the funeral-home building.
Route C Church or outside venue Copy the event venue from the individual obituary before mapping your trip.
Service-day mistake to avoid: Do not search only “Shumate-Faulk” in Maps and drive there without reading the individual memorial. A funeral, burial and reception can involve more than one destination. This same routing problem is explained in our Haysi Funeral Home obituary guide.

    Call Shumate-Faulk

    Use 1-919-734-5441 for immediate support.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Shumate-Faulk says staff will need personal information about the deceased to complete necessary documents.

  5. 5

Current prices

How to Get Shumate-Faulk Funeral Prices Without Guessing

A current itemized General Price List was not located in the official material reviewed for this article, so this page does not invent burial, cremation, chapel, casket, cemetery or transfer charges. Ask Shumate-Faulk directly for current itemized pricing.

Ask for current price information Request the General Price List and the services you are considering.
Separate funeral-home and outside costs Ask which items are funeral-home charges and which are cash advances such as cemetery, newspaper, clergy or permit fees.
Get selections in writing Before authorizing arrangements, confirm what is included and which optional items can be declined.
Ask about Useful question Why it matters
Basic services “What is your current basic services fee?” It separates the professional-service portion from other choices.
Transfer into care “What is the transfer charge, and what distance or after-hours conditions apply?” Transport and timing can affect the total bill.
Funeral / visitation “What are the charges for visitation, chapel service, staff, hearse and graveside service?” These are often separate line items.
Cremation “What cremation options are available, and which services are included?” Direct cremation, memorial service and viewing options can differ.
Preplanning “Which prepaid items are guaranteed and which future costs may remain outside the funded plan?” The official preplanning page notes that some future unknown costs, such as governmental documents and permit fees, can be exceptions.
Federal consumer protection: Review the FTC Funeral Rule before making selections. If you want another example of handling published vs. unpublished funeral pricing, see our Hazel Green Funeral Home guide.

Wayne County death records

How to Get a Death Certificate After a Shumate-Faulk Obituary

Wayne County Register of Deeds can issue death records for persons who died in Wayne County. If the person died outside Wayne County, the county instructs applicants to contact the Register of Deeds office where the person passed.

Goldsboro, NC 27533

Phone: 919-731-1449

Fax: 919-731-1441

Current Wayne County local fee

$10 per certified death certificate

Wayne County currently lists a $2 debit/credit-card surcharge for in-person card payment and a one-time $5.07 processing fee for online death-certificate orders.

  1. 1

    Confirm county of death

    Use Wayne County only when the death occurred in Wayne County. Residence alone is not enough.

  2. 2

    Check eligibility for certified copies

    Wayne County states certified copies can be provided to the spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, step-child, step-parent, attorney for, or legal agent of the deceased. Uncertified copies are available to the public.

  3. 3

    Bring or mail ID

    For certified copies, Wayne County requires proper non-expired identification such as driver’s license, state-issued ID, military/veteran ID or passport.

  4. 4

    Choose in-person, mail or online ordering

    The county provides in-person, mail and online instructions. For mail, include the deceased person’s name, date of death, signed request, copy of ID, current phone number and a self-addressed stamped envelope.

  5. 5

    Order enough copies for real tasks

    Banks, insurance, property, retirement accounts and probate may require certified copies, but not every organization needs an original.

County vs. state route: Wayne County currently lists $10 per certified local death certificate. North Carolina Vital Records lists a state search fee of $24 for one three-year period that includes one certificate if found, plus separate state/VitalChek processing rules. Do not compare those routes without checking which office you are using.

Estates / probate

Wayne County Estates: Where to Start After a Death

For estates, wills, probate questions and court filings, use the North Carolina Judicial Branch / Wayne County courthouse route, not the obituary page. Wayne County Register of Deeds also states that wills are submitted to the Office of Clerk of Courts and gives the Clerk’s office number as 919-722-6100.

Wayne County Courthouse

224 E Walnut Street
Goldsboro, NC 27530

Main courthouse phone: 919-722-6100

Clerk / estates contact route

North Carolina Judicial Branch lists Wayne County Clerk of Superior Court at 919-722-6100.

Ask procedural questions only. Court staff cannot provide legal advice.

Before calling about an estate

  • Have the deceased person’s legal name and date of death.
  • Know whether there is an original will.
  • Identify the county where the person was domiciled.
  • Make a basic list of titled property, accounts, debts and beneficiaries.
  • Ask which filing or appointment process may apply; use a North Carolina attorney when legal strategy is needed.

Social Security

Death Reporting and Survivor Benefits

Social Security explains that funeral homes commonly report deaths to SSA. Families should give the funeral director the deceased person’s Social Security number when the funeral home is making the report.

Death reporting Ask Shumate-Faulk whether the death is being reported to Social Security and what information staff need from the family.
Survivor benefits Potentially eligible spouses, divorced spouses, children or dependent parents should review SSA survivor-benefit rules rather than assuming the obituary starts a claim.
