Founder Howard Westcott and his wife LaVerne established the business in 1948 after returning to the Verde Valley from Phoenix. Howard served an apprenticeship in Jerome and worked at a funeral home in Phoenix before opening the Cottonwood Funeral Chapel, which operated at the same location for 38 years. Today, the business remains a family-operated establishment that has served the entire Verde Valley since its founding.

The current management team includes Chris and Taylor Seguin, who serve as managers and funeral directors. They bring more than 20 years of combined experience in the funeral service industry. Their background includes work at a family-owned funeral home in San Diego and, for Taylor, service as a U.S. Navy veteran and former embalmer with the United States Army Mortuary in Germany. This experience supports their work in helping veterans and their families navigate VA paperwork and benefit eligibility.

The facility features a private family viewing room, a large chapel with options to expand space, and ample indoor and outdoor areas for memorials. Recent updates include a new PA system in the chapel, a new reception room with an attached kitchen, and outdoor patio seating. The business also creates tribute videos to capture cherished memories and offers flower delivery services.
