Edward J Cutler FSBP(Hons)
Edward J Cutler is a dedicated and highly respected funeral director whose vocation began at a remarkably young age. Born in Sutton Coldfield, Edward was just 13 when he served as a pallbearer at his great uncle’s funeral. He then completed work experience with the Co-operative Funeral Service in Sutton Coldfield, which solidified his commitment to the profession. By 17, he had secured full-time employment with their Rugeley branch and quickly advanced from Funeral Operative to Funeral Director.
At only 19, Edward opened his first independent funeral home in Sutton Coldfield. Edward now joins his partner Nikki at Dormer Cottage Funeral Home in Tamworth.
The beginning of Dormer Cottage Funeral Home
After years of serving families through various locations across the West Midlands and building a respected reputation in both local and international funeral care, Nikki and her partner Edward envisioned a more personal, community-rooted way of delivering funeral services.
In 2022, they took a significant step toward that vision by purchasing Dormer Cottage; a peaceful, characterful property set in the countryside near Tamworth, now serving as a fully operational Funeral Home with on-site Chapel of Rest and mortuary facilities.
