Cox Funeral Home

What Cox Funeral Home does

Cox Funeral Home is a family-owned, single-location funeral services provider operating in Jasonville, Indiana, and serving Greene County and adjacent rural communities. Founded in 2009 by Michael W. Cox — a licensed funeral director whose credentials date to 1981, giving him more than 40 years of professional practice — and his wife Teresa Cox, the firm operates as a direct-to-consumer provider with approximately 10 employees. There is no disclosed investor base, parent company, or external funding; the operation appears self-funded and owner-operated across its 16-year history.

The company's service offering spans traditional burial (immediate, traditional, and graveside), cremation including direct cremation and cremation with services, pet cremation, and pre-planning arrangements. Supporting services include obituary management with a publicly searchable online archive and grief-support resource referrals. Revenue mechanics are quote-based per service, with the broader U.S. funeral industry's average transaction value of $7,000–$10,000 serving as a directional benchmark; pricing is not transparently listed. The online obituary archive has accumulated more than 1,000 records since 2009, providing indirect evidence of cumulative service volume.

The business model is operationally conventional. The firm has a single physical location, no proprietary technology platform, and no disclosed digital distribution channels beyond its website and obituary database. There is no evidence of multi-location expansion, franchise or affiliate networks, or commercial partnerships. The firm's competitive position rests on owner reputation, local community ties, and the regulatory licensure of its principal rather than on technology, scale, or process differentiation.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• StoneMor Partners: Public U.S. operator focused on cemeteries and funeral homes with a heavy pre-need funding model. Highly comparable to Cox's burial, cremation, and pre-planning service mix but at portfolio scale.
• Park Lawn Corporation: Canadian-headquartered funeral, cremation, and cemetery operator with expanding U.S. footprint. Comparable business model combining traditional services, cremation, and pre-need planning across many locations.
• NorthStar Memorial Group: Private operator of funeral homes, cremation centers, and cemeteries across the U.S. Provides traditional funeral services and pre-need planning comparable to Cox's offerings at multi-site scale.
• Foundation Partners Group: Privately held funeral home and cemetery operator owned by Foundation Building Materials' principals and Stonepeak. Operates dozens of funeral homes across the U.S. with the same traditional service portfolio as Cox.
• Carriage Services: Public U.S. funeral home and cemetery operator with a portfolio of ~200 funeral homes and cemeteries. Comparable in core offerings (burial, cremation, pre-need) but operates at national scale versus Cox's single location.
• Service Corporation International: The largest funeral, cremation, and cemetery services operator in North America (parent of Dignity Memorial). Operates thousands of funeral homes across the U.S. and competes directly with Cox in funeral and cremation services at vastly greater scale.

Emerging players

• Precoa (Pre-Planning Company of America): National pre-need funeral planning company that partners with independent funeral homes. Directly comparable to Cox's pre-planning revenue stream and represents both a partner and competitive channel for pre-need sales.
