Episode 33 - Wichita Chamber Business Accelerator

When one thinks of dynamic and evolving industries, funeral services does not immediately come to mind. However, Ashley Cozine is continuously looking for opportunities to innovate with the Cozine Memorial Group and he shares those developments with hosts Don and Ebony.

Cozine Memorial Group’s tradition of providing funeral services to the families of Wichita, Kansas and the surrounding communities began in 1913. Since that time, they have continued to expand their offerings and raise the bar of funeral service in their community and across the country.

Broadway Mortuary and Kensington Gardens have earned a reputation for caring, compassionate service with unsurpassed professionalism and attention to detail...making Cozine Memorial Group the leading choice among funeral, cremation, and cemetery providers in Wichita!

Their commitment to providing funeral and memorial service excellence to families like yours has been recognized on a national level. They are the only mortuary in Wichita to have been inducted into the National Funeral Directors Association’s Hall of Excellence. This achievement recognizes the top 2% of funeral homes in the nation for outstanding services to families, commitment to the community and dedication to upholding the highest ethical and professional standards.

Continuing this legacy of service excellence while also redefining funeral service, they are excited to announce that our new Cozine Life Events Center is currently under construction and set to open in 2021. This new facility will set the standard for funeral service and provide families with unmatched options and hospitality as they honor, celebrate, and remember the life of their loved one.
