“We were fortunate enough to work with Cox Funeral Home in Hamilton, Georgia for my grandmother's funeral. They were consistently professional and kind. It felt like a family environment and Dan really took the time to get to know my grandmother so that he could provide the service that she would have wanted. Compared to other funeral homes we have worked with in the past, Cox was much more friendly, personable, and not pushy. We never felt pressured or rushed. They followed through with everything they said they would with no issues. Cox really made this difficult time much more bearable. I would use them again without question.”
