Koops Funeral Chapels, Inc.

Koops Funeral Chapel, located at 935 4th Avenue in the heart of Lake Odessa, Michigan, is a trusted funeral home serving families in Ionia, Barry, and Eaton counties, including the communities of Clarksville, Freeport, Carlton, Woodland, and Woodbury. With a history spanning over a century in the region, Koops is part of the Cook family of funeral homes, a legacy that began in 1957 when Ron Cook Sr. — who knew from eighth grade he wanted to be a mortician — purchased the Grandville funeral home at age 23 and built his business from the ground up. The Cook family expanded over decades, and in 1997, they purchased Koops Funeral Chapels from Gary and Nettie Koops. Nettie remains a familiar, welcoming face at the chapel, often helping with visitation refreshments. In 2020, Koops became a provider within the Dignity Memorial network, joining a family of funeral homes dedicated to personalized, high-quality care.
