Kind words from our families...
"Dear Margaret, Thank you. We are writing to express our heartfelt thanks to you, in particular, and your whole team, for their service at Derek's funeral service.
Margaret, you are a wonderful person who is most definitely in the right job. Thank you so much for looking after not only Helen but us as well. You'll never know how much you helped us in an incredibly difficult situation.
From the first moment we met you, when we came to view Derek, we knew, instinctively, that you were the person we wanted to help us through, and you didn't let us down. You were there with us every step of the way and I know that Helen appreciated the personal touches, messages and phone calls in making sure Helen was OK.
All your recommendations were perfect for Derek's funeral service. The flowers, as pictured on the front, by Mark were amazing, we have never seen such a beautiful display and I know that we will be making some large picture prints out of them for Helen and ourselves.
Your recommendation of Anne Reid was spot on for us, so thank you very much for your kindness. Everybody commented on the wonderful service that she gave.
Thank you for making a very difficult time into something so special and truly memorable.

"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."

"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."

"Cottons arranged my Father's funeral in '96 and when it came to my mother's in 2015 they were the natural choice. Mum was 94 so we wanted a celebration of her life more than anything else and that's exactly what we got. The songs mum loved and the words we wanted to say. All organised through Jane who told us from the offset that they would do pretty much whatever we wanted providing it wasn't illegal! It was a beautiful service. So, when I lost by beloved husband just 3 weeks ago I ended up going back to Jane (even though I live 25 miles away from Weymouth) Once again, Jane let me choose exactly the way I wanted things to be - non religious, no hymns, no flowers and no sycophantic eulogies. My husband loved the SW States and had a genuine Stetson which they placed on his coffin. We had a lovely slideshow of photos with music (produced by my niece) and we chose who would say what and when. Jane certainly went the extra mile. She's amazing and I can't thank her enough."

"Cotton & Sons ( in particular Nathan) have looked after both my mothers funeral 3 years ago and more recently my late fathers. I cannot recommend them enough. The communications throughout were excellent and every small detail requested was looked after and actioned - which really helped as I am not local to Weymouth. Both services went as well as you could expect and the services provided were much appreciated."

"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."

"I cannot speak highly enough of the compassion, support, kindness and professionalism of this company. My mother's and brother in law's farewell both took place through this company. From the very first meeting, they could not have been more obliging, they provided exactly the farewell we wanted for my mother and could not have been more supportive of my sister's needs. They made what was a stressful and difficult time into an appropriate and loving celebration"

"The whole team at Cotton and Son were professional, sensitive and caring. They were very patient and always there to help with any problems and queries. In spite of the sadness of the day I was able to relax knowing that everything was well organised and in good hands. I would have no hesitation in using them again and would certainly recommend them."

"I don't even know if this is the thing to do, however here goes. My beloved brother passed away very unexpectedly and as one would expect total devastation, shock and horror ensued. I was recommended to Cottons no knowing what to expect as I had never personally arranged such a difficult event, however, Margaret was so welcoming ( despite me not having made an appointment). In the difficult days that followed Margaret was just so kind, patient.. I had to check and double check before making the simplest of decisions...so professional, full of empathy, compassion and understanding. She guided me through, allowed me to visit my brother as any times and for as long as I needed without feeling rushed. A truly beautiful experience if that makes sense, words just fail me for the gratitude I feel for this Lady and her company ...who were all fantastic even down to allowing me the honour of carrying my brother on his last walk into the crematorium, they patiently showed how and what to do. Simply amazing support in such difficult times. Again thank you all so much"
