As we continue through Black History Month, T.E. Cooke-Overton Funeral Home is honored to present our Black History segments titled:

Funeral Service & the Dignity of Death

Throughout the remainder of the month, we will highlight the vital role Black funeral homes have played in our communities — preserving dignity, honoring life, and providing compassionate care during times when it was denied elsewhere. These segments will educate, reflect, and honor the legacy of those who ensured our families were treated with respect in death, just as they deserved in life.

This series is not about the past alone — it is about understanding the foundation of our profession, recognizing the responsibility we carry, and continuing the work of service, advocacy, and care with purpose and pride.

We invite you to follow along, learn with us, and honor the legacy of Black funeral service professionals who have long stood as pillars of dignity, trust, and compassion.

☕ Quiet Moments Matter

Grief often lives in the stillness— in the pause, the reflection, the moments no one else sees.

At T.E. Cooke-Overton Funeral Home, we honor every step of the journey, including the quiet moments when hearts are healing and memories are held close.

May today bring you comfort, peace, and gentle reminders that love never ends.
