We cannot praise Nathan and the team at Cottons enough. We were all treated with dignity, kindness and respect throughout the entire sad journey of losing our  beloved Beryl. The compassion shown, the professional service from the beginning to the end we will never forget and will always be grateful for. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts .

5 Steven Runyeard 30th Mar 2026

Excellent service. Everything ran very smoothly and have no complaints what so ever. Nathan was particularly good.

Nothing was too much trouble and I know I was persnickety! You made a difficult time manageable with your kindness, dignity and respectfulness. Thank you to Peter and his team.

Cotton & Son provided an excellent service with clear communication and professionalism. I would recommend them.

5 Jean Thompson 25th Feb 2026

My husband and myself Robert and on behalf of the whole family, thought that the kindness you and your staff showed us was second to none. The approach that you gave to our situation, which was extremely difficult due to the circumstances, was done in the most empathetic way.
Margaret guided us through the process and we felt we were in safe hands, she was on hand at any time with any questions we may have had and kept in touch throughout.
Also thank you to Nathan who looked after us when we came to the chapel of rest.
Everything was handled in the most professional and dignified way.

5 Jane Lloyd 25th Feb 2026

We had a first class service from Cotton & Son.  Peter was so helpful and understood we only wanted a small private family funeral for Mum.  We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cotton & Son to others.  

5 Jonathan Lanham 25th Feb 2026

From start to finish Peter and his team were extremely professional and caring. They guided us through the funeral process in a friendly and understanding way. I would highly recommended them.

5 Richard Carter 9th Feb 2026

At this really hard time in our lives, I could not ask for a more professional service.
 from my mum being transported from Scotland to cottons in Weymouth, the dedication of all the staff involved from the time mum arrived, the kind and caring compassion has been fantastic.
When mum arrived at the church in the hurst I was able to carry her in with the other funeral directors, something that was very personal to me.
with an amazing and well spoken speech from father Gregory, along with all other speeches made, the service was a lovely send off for mum.
It was made even more special as we were able to walk behind the hurst to the burial where mum was laid to rest.


Thankyou all for so much understanding, it will always be appreciated.


Regards

Peter went out of his way to see that everything went smoothly and with no stress. Could not have asked for better service.

5 Andrew Cossens 6th Feb 2026

Once again, Cotton's service was outstanding. From my dealings with Nathan to the day itself, the process was smooth, simple, and dealt with in the utmost courtesy and compassion. Faultless.

5 Margret Davies 5th Feb 2026

5 Michelle Rowland 5th Feb 2026

Lovely family feel to the funeral home and felt very much supported throughout the whole process. Cotton & Son went above and beyond to make everything as personal as possible, reassurance provided and everything explained fully, even down to the bearer staff - incredibly sympathetic and respectful. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you.

5 Judith Bibby 5th Feb 2026

Kind, caring and helpful, I knew my Father was in very safe hands and nothing was too much trouble, they looked after him so well and everything went as smoothly as it should.

5 Ellen Zapiec 7th Jan 2026

At a very difficult and challenging time it was my good fortune to find Cotton and sons to help arrange for my husband’s funeral.  The sensitivity with which I and members of my family were shown was exemplary.  Thank you Margaret and the team for taking such good care of all of us.  

5 Anthony Roberts 4th Dec 2025

Was Katharine the only person being cared for at Cottons for those 10 days? it seemed so: she - and we - were treated with such compassion, respect, dignity, care, and indeed love, from the moment her body was repatriated 'til after her burial in that appalling weather up on Dorset Downs. I cannot thank Margaret, Nathan, Peter and their team enough. Thank you.

5 Michelle Rose 4th Dec 2025

The care we received from Peter right the way through from sorting out mum’s funeral to the actual day was first class,  very efficient, professional and Peter was very kind and considerate throughout. 
I would definitely recommend using Cottons. 

5 Philip Waterman 4th Dec 2025

Comfortingly professional

5 Andrew Bryant 4th Dec 2025

Very good service

5 Kerry Ann Corbridge 4th Dec 2025

Margaret and the team at cottons have been so supportive and  compassionate to myself and my family when we recently lost our loved one. their professionalism is outstanding, nothing was to much trouble helping us give my Mum the funereal service she truly deserved. 
We have dealt with cottons before and  would highly recommend them to anyone who wants that extra personal touch  in difficult times when you are grieving a loved one X

5 Lynn Luffman 3rd Dec 2025

We chose Cotton & Son for it’s outstanding funeral service as we knew from our mother’s service 8 years ago with Cotton & Son that our father who passed away recently would have the same dignified and memorable service as mum did. 

5 Paula Hartley 3rd Dec 2025

We wanted the funeral to be a celebration of a long life well lived , and Margaret and the team helped us achieve that.
We had a mixture of traditional, blended expertly with modern technology to achieve all that we wanted to.
We could not have been happier with the guidance and support we received.

5 Sarah Hackford 3rd Dec 2025

Nathan and the team could not have done a better job, from sensitively dealing with our grief to sorting out all the practicalities that we couldn’t begin to handle at the time.  Highly recommend their service.
