Cox Funeral Home was founded by Mr. E. W. Cox in 1927. In 1931, Cox Funeral Home was moved to a boarding house on West Street. That’s where we are located today. Through the years, the Cox family served Decatur County and the surrounding areas with loyalty and pride. In 2014, we are continuing to follow the tradition set in 1927. We are here to serve your funeral needs with compassion, dignity, and professionalism.
