The Cook-Walden legacy of service began in the late 1800s when Samuel E. Rosengren opened a downtown funeral home in the 400 block of Congress Street in Austin, which served the funeral needs of families in the growing state capital until 1920.

Charles B. Cook purchased Rosengren's business and opened an opulent 3-story building located between the state capitol and the governor's mansion, which quickly became the largest and most prestigious provider of funeral and ambulance services in the community.

Charles Walden purchased Cook Funeral Home in 1971, bringing 30 years of dedication and service to the business. Mr. Walden soon moved Cook-Walden Funeral Home from 11th and Colorado avenues to North Lamar Street, where it continues to be an Austin landmark.
