About Westcott Funeral Home
Serving Yavapai County, Arizona
Westcott Funeral Home has served the Verde Valley since 1948 and has grown, adapted and continues to serve the entire Verde Valley.
Before the war, Founder Howard Westcott and his wife LaVerne both lived and worked in Jerome. Howard worked for his parents in their restaurant and also worked in the mines. LaVerne was a nurse at the hospital there. Howard later served an apprenticeship in the local funeral home in Jerome.
Upon his return from College, he worked at a funeral home in Phoenix until 1948 when they moved back to the Verde Valley and began the Cottonwood Funeral Chapel.
They owned and operated that funeral home at the same location for 38 years.
Today, Westcott Funeral Home is still the prominent funeral home in the Verde Valley and is extremely proud to be a family owned and operated business that has gained the trust of the Cottonwood and Camp Verde area since 1948 and has grown, adapted and continues to serve the entire Verde Valley.
Our facility and staffing structure have been updated in the past two years in order to achieve our mission of "find, achieve and enjoy a better way". We will continue to treat everyone we have the privilege to serve as if they were our own family and to continuously support our community by giving back in all the ways that matter. We believe in the common good and are here to support making memories in life and finding peace in death.
