The Commander Initiative
We at Cooper Professionals have been hard-at-work implementing our core business strategy- pooling the funds of African-American and other Minority Independent funeral homes to increase purchasing and contracting power. The support we’ve attracted from folks like you- providers with long-standing ties to their local churches and communities, along with active membership in professional associations- has helped us gain serious traction from major vendors of death-care products & services.
