Cottons carried out the funeral arrangements for my son in February 2024. Every detail was done with dignity, compassion and respect, making a very emotional time bearable. I dealt mainly with Nathan who was always extremely helpful and patient, thank-you. Have also dealt with Cottons for both my parents funerals. Always carried out with total professionalism...Thank you Cotton & Son.

Cotton and Son dealt with my father's funeral in 2009 and so it seemed only right to return to them when my mother passed away recently. My brother and I cannot praise them highly enough. Their professionalism and attention to detail made the task so much more bearable. Peter ensured that everything was slick and yet still compassionate on the day, even ensuring mother's final journey included a drive along the seafront. Thank you Cottons for giving us a celebration that was perfect for our mother, we could say our final farewell knowing that she would have whole heartedly approved.

We can’t thank Nathan enough for his input into the funeral of my late Stepfather in law. He understood exactly what the family wanted and paid great attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble, whether it was questions by phone or email. He went about his duties in a very professional manner and relaxed the family. He gave Richard the send off that he deserved and we can’t thank you enough.
