The Repast Podcast
Welcome to The Repast Podcast — where tradition meets transparency. Hosted by the Cole family of James H. Cole Home for Funerals in Detroit, we take you behind the scenes of one of the oldest Black-owned funeral homes in the country.
With stories full of heart, heritage, and humor, we explore what it really means to care for a community in its most vulnerable moments. From wild funeral requests to honest conversations about grief, legacy, and love, no topic is off-limits.
Subscribe for weekly episodes, and join us as we honor 100+ years of family, culture, and life after loss.
