The James H. Cole Home for Funerals, established in 1919 by James H. Cole Sr., has been a cornerstone of Detroit’s community for over a century. Founded to serve the city’s Black families who faced discrimination from other undertakers, it has grown under Cole Sr.‘s vision and his descendants’ leadership. James H. Cole Jr. expanded the business in the 1960s, and his daughter, Karla M. Cole-Green, took over in 1991. The business, now managed by Karla and her sons, Antonio and Brice Green, has continued to thrive, reflecting a deep commitment to service and community, and has earned national recognition.
