Our Story

Our Story

As a proud member of the Bainbridge community since 1927, we're honored to help families celebrate their loved ones. We pledge to ensure that every funeral and memorial service is deeply personal, fostering healing and remembrance.


Cox Funeral Home was founded in 1927 by Mr. E. W. Cox. He, along with his sons Walter Cox and Ronnie Cox, served Decatur County and the surrounding areas with loyalty and pride.  In 1931, Cox Funeral Home was moved to a boarding house on West Street in historic downtown Bainbridge where we continue to be located.  In 2011, Andy and Christy Cadwell became the co-owners of Cox Funeral Home. Having worked at Cox since his high school years, Andy and the staff continue the tradition of service with compassion, dignity and professionalism provided to our community since 1927.
