Legacy

Beyond a service, we're committed to helping families create lasting tributes that transcend generations.

Our story

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.
