People have asked " Does Coggins Funeral Home staff attend organizational meetings within the state or even nationally"? The answer is "Yes" we have attended those types of meetings. We still stay up to date with current funeral service rules and laws, FTC, preneed and cemetery law. We also receive our con ed hours for both funeral service and preneed as prescribed by law to remain licensed. We know those organizations are wonderful opportunities in the funeral service profession to attend and meet fellow funeral directors, learn new things, and bring new ideas home.
And while we appreciate those opportunities, we have always believed something very strongly:
"Our place is here."
Here in Thomaston.
Here in Upson County.
Here with the families and people who have trusted us to serve them during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
We could spend more time traveling to conferences and events, but we believe there is something far more important than being recognized within our profession, and that is being present in the community we are privileged to serve.
When a family needs us, we want to be here.
When our community needs us, we want to be here.
When our neighbors need a helping hand, we want to be here.
Because to us, being a hometown funeral home isn't just a slogan.
It's a responsibility. It's a commitment. It's who we are.
We are proud to serve Thomaston and Upson County, and we are grateful every day for the trust this community has placed in us.
Coggins Funeral Home
"A family serving families".
