As a global concern about Coronavirus (COVID-19) begins to have an increased impact on our community, we are taking steps  to ensure the safety of the families we serve and the community in general.  Some are making the decision to postpone services while others have opted to move forward with a small gathering of close family and friends.

It is Cobb's Funeral Home policy, which lines up with the restrictions of our governor, Gretchen Whitmer, that all gatherings are limited to 10 people with a distance of 6 feet.

May God continue to bless and strengthen all of you during this time.
