With a history that spans over 75 years, dedicated leadership has been the hallmark of this Wayland funeral home’s legacy. The Cook family’s commitment to serving its local communities will carry on this tradition as it has done since 1957 in its Grandville, Byron Center, Jenison and Lake Odessa chapels. Ron Cook, along with his wife Johanne, began Cook Funeral Home with an emphasis on community relationships and service. With succession of ownership being passed through the generations in the Cook family, son Fred and his son Ron II will work alongside Mr. Kubiak and staff to continue providing excellent care to grieving families. First opened by Glenn Archer in 1936, the Wayland funeral home was located in the former Carner homestead on Main Street. Archer was owner until selling to George Hampel in 1959. Larry Kubiak worked for Mr. Hampel for six years beginning in 1980 then he purchased the business in 1986. The Wayland Funeral Chapel is now located at 312 N. Kubiak built the funeral home in Dorr, MI in 1997, on the former Wagner family homestead on 18th Street. The purchase and name change to Kubiak-Cook Funeral Services took place in the fall of 2012.

🌟 Congratulations to Burrell Stein – Service Excellence Award Recipient! 🌟

Please join us in celebrating Burrell Stein, Associate at Kubiak-Cook Funeral Services, on receiving the Service Excellence Award — an honor that perfectly reflects who he is and how he serves.

Burrell is the very definition of community. His unwavering dedication, compassion, and willingness to go above and beyond have made him a trusted presence not only within our walls, but throughout the Wayland and Dorr communities. Whether guiding families through their most difficult moments, staying late to ensure every detail is cared for, or stepping in without hesitation when challenges arise, Burrell leads with kindness, clarity, and a servant’s heart.

From creatively troubleshooting an aging funeral coach to offering countless hugs and words of comfort at services, Burrell continuously shows what it means to live out Service Excellence every single day. His years of heartfelt service have earned him numerous community awards and the deep respect of colleagues, families, and neighbors.

At 90 years old, his commitment remains unwavering. One unforgettable example: scheduled for a heart stent procedure the morning of his friend Bob Tanner’s retirement celebration, Burrell insisted the date remain unchanged — and still arrived that afternoon, sling and all, smiling and ready to honor his colleague. That is the spirit of loyalty, leadership, and love that defines him.
We were honored to have our team join with the Stein family as we celebrated Burrell and his incredible service to the Wayland and Dorr communities.

🍻 To keep the celebration going, Burrell and the Kubiak-Cook team encourage you to stop by Openroad Brewery and enjoy a Beerell Stein IPA brewed in his honor!

Please help us congratulate Burrell on this well-deserved recognition — and thank him for the countless lives he continues to touch with humility, wisdom, and heart. 💛
