ABOUT US
Honouring Loved Ones with Personalised, Compassionate Farewells.
We believe that in your time of need, providing professional care and compassion is essential in helping families say goodbye in a way that is personal and meaningful.
‘Being a funeral director isn't just a profession; it's a way of life that requires a special kind of person. That's why we carefully select individuals who share our deep care for people to serve our families. They understand the importance of compassion and empathy, just as we do.’

Our History.
Since 1967, Robert J. Cotton Funeral Directors has been a cornerstone of the Palmerston North community. Our history is not just a chronicle of time but a narrative of deep connections, compassionate service and unwavering support.
For over five decades, we have walked alongside families in their moments of farewell, offering not just professional service but a compassionate hand that understands the depth of every emotion and the uniqueness of every life. Our legacy is enriched by the countless lives we’ve had the privilege to honour, and the families we’ve supported in their journeys of remembrance and healing.
Our advice to any family choosing a Funeral Director: ensure they are certified and a member of the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand for peace of mind when it matters most.
As a Member of the Funeral Directors Association, we are committed to a set of best practice industry standards and inspections to ensure they are met.
The choice to join and be accepted as a member means a commitment to provide a thoroughly professional and high-quality service.
We are caring professionals who are there for you when sadness makes it hard to think clearly to act as your advisor, administrator, event planner, grief supporter and caregiver.
We are dedicated to helping you cope with your grief by working with you to provide a meaningful farewell for you and your loved ones.
