Cotter Funeral Home

Cotter Funeral Home, located at 224 East Washington Street in Momence, Illinois, is a trusted funeral home serving the community with dignity and compassion. The business traces its roots to the 1920s when Raymond Canaday opened Canaday Funeral Service on Dixie Highway in Momence. The current facility, a historic building constructed in 1899 by Dr. Burke, a longtime local physician, was acquired by Mr. Canaday in the early 1940s. In the 1950s, Bernard Boos joined the firm, becoming a partner in 1960, and the business operated as Canaday-Boos Funeral Home until Mr. Canaday’s retirement in 1964. In March 1980, William L.
