The
Cook family has been providing trusted funeral services for more than 15
years and is honored to be the owners of Cook Family Fun
eral Home
on Bainbridge Island – continuing the funeral home’s
tradition of being
a family owned and operated business. The funeral home was established
in the 1940’s. From the Owyens, the Hess’ and the Kass’ families and now
to David and Doreen Cook and family, service with the family touch
continues.
David
was born and raised in Waterloo, Iowa and Doreen was born in
Pullman, Washington and later moved with her family to settle in
Placerville, California.

Commerce. He has also been asked to be the Kitsap County Board Member, representing the funeral industry, for the local chapter of "The Compassionate Friends", an organization dedicated to assisting families after the death of a child.
Doreen graduated from
Eldorado High School. The Cooks have five children, who currently attend
elementary thru high school on Bainbridge Island. The Cook
family lives in the community and they care about the people who live
here also.
The Cook
Family Funeral Home offers a full spectrum of funeral and cremation
services. Complete funeral services in churches or other facilities can
be arranged. A family does not need to be a member of a church or
organization in order for David to arrange for use of a facility. The
funeral home is available for
viewings and smaller services. Those who prefer an alternative to
traditional service will find many options available for consideration.
They also offer cremation services of all varieties. Cook Family Funeral
Home is experienced in arranging services and interments throughout the
country and forwarding a loved one to anywhere in the world. The Cooks
also assist in the operation of the cemeteries on Bainbridge Island.
They have the answers and direction you need in a time of need.
The
Cooks are your neighbors in Kitsap County working together as a
community. They are here for you. Let’s support each other.
