Our Story
Funeral Home/Cemetery Merchandise
The Commander Initiative is a program envisioned by Cooper Professionals CEO Eddie Pitt based on the idea that the million-of-dollars African-American spend in the death-care industry can be harnessed to bring greater benefit to Black funeral homes and the families they serve. In the first year The Initiative has grown into a national network of leading independent funeral homes/funeral service providers performing a combined total of over 10,000 services per year. This predominately African-American network has committed to the concept of cooperative buying of essential products & services.Major supplier and vendors are responding. The Commander Initiative is currently accepting and reviewing bids offering discounts and other preferred terms in return for the volume of purchases Partners are expected to make when the buying pools are activated in the 2-3rd quarter of 2019.
