The business was started by JAMES H. COLE, SR in 1919 on the lower east side of Detroit on St. Aubin, in an area known as the “Black Bottom”. In the early 1930's the business moved to 446 E. Warren , and remained there for 2 to 3 years.

That building was lost by Mr. Cole during the Great Depression, so he moved the business to 275 E. Warren and remained there until 1962. By this time JAMES H. COLE, JR had become a licensed mortician and joined the firm.
