William H. Cox, great great grandfather of Lewis Cox opened a wagon-making shop in the Wellhope section of Rockcastle County, Kentucky in 1862 and quickly became known as one of the areas finest craftsman. His son William A. Cox later joined him in this business. William H. was particularly well-known for the sturdy wagons that he made and soon families began to request that Mr. Cox handcraft caskets as they needed them.
Cox Funeral Home has been serving the people of Rockcastle County and surrounding areas since 1907.

The Cox Family has been serving the needs of our community for more than 105 years. We feel that the pre-arrangement of a funeral may be the single most important asset to a family at the time of a death of a loved one. Some people today feel that a pre-arrangement is as important to family as the planning of a will.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).

Check the local newspaper obituaries (the mt vernon signal). You'll see who is liked around here. Only wish is I had done the same when we had a death but this was always the "family" funeral home so its who I called. Lewis Cox has no heart and charges for services not rendered and wants to do things his way, not the way the family wants. He will talk to you and manipulate you into the easiest way for him to make a buck.
