Blairsville Chapel

Blairsville Chapel

 

Cochran Funeral Home of Blairsville was originally established in 1950, as Akins Funeral Home, owned by Pat Akins. In 1967, Raymond Nix bought in to the business, and it became known as Akins-Nix Funeral Home. The original funeral home was located on Highway 129 south of Blairsville and re-located to Kimsey Street in Blairsville. Due to the retiring of Mr. Akins and the failing health of Mr. Nix, they sold the funeral home and Union Memory Gardens Cemetery to Steve and Max Cochran in 1981. A larger office was added, and another layout room, a selection room, and did other remodeling.
In 1993, a new building was built, the current funeral home, located on Highway 129 and corner of Hospital Street. Steve and Max felt this building could better accomodate the growing community, and they could serve family's needs better in the new location.
Our funeral home has large, stately rooms, with high ceilings - well-lit, with a large chapel, with stained glass windows. Elegantly decorated in comfort and style, we strive to provide our families with the best accommodations that we can. Our professional and caring staff take pride in providing high quality and affordable funeral services that meet the special needs of your family.
