Funeral Homes
- Rawls Funeral Home
- Brownsville Funeral Home – Brownsville Funeral Home records date back a good number of years. Must know death year and month. Copies of some later records are in the Genealogy Room, Elma Ross Library. J. M. Cox opened the first undertaking establishment in Brownsville in 1866. He also opened the section of the cemetery west of the main iron gates. His son, James Morrison Cox II, inherited the business. At one time it was on Jefferson Street near the First Brownsville Bank building and later is was located on N. Washington, at the site of or near the present City Hall. William Walter Cox, Sr., son of J. M. Cox II, served in WWI and operated a funeral home in Mississippi before returning to Brownsville in 1928 and joining his father in the family business. He died in 1949 and J. M. Cox and Son’s passed out of family ownership, ending one of the oldest business establishments in Haywood County. The existing records are believed to be part of the Brownsville Funeral Home records.
