In the late 1960s, the Cotnoir family assumed management and ownership of the funeral home, continuing its tradition of excellence. Daniel B.

As of early 2026, Edgar J. Racicot Inc. Funeral Home has announced its closure. In a heartfelt letter to the community, Daniel B. Cotnoir expressed deep gratitude for the trust placed in the funeral home over the decades. He cited a desire to retire and spend more time with his wife, children, and grandchildren as the reason for this decision. The closure marks the end of an era for a business that has been a pillar of support during times of loss.

Importantly, the funeral home is ensuring a seamless transition for families with pre-need arrangements. These plans remain secure and transferable to other trusted funeral homes. The staff remains available during the transition period to assist with documentation and guidance, honoring the wishes of those who entrusted them with future arrangements.
