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.
