Nelson Funeral Home is by far one of the nicest and professional funeral homes that I have dealt with. I would highly recommend them. Today we received a Christmas ornament with a picture of my father in law. It was so thoughtful and absolutely beautiful..

I would tell anyone to use Nelson Funeral Home. My grandfather past in May of this year and with everything going on in the world my family from out of state was not able to attend the service. Mr. Nelson and his wonderful team did everything to make my entire family felt included. He made sure the out of state family was able to participate in the service by accommodating the three-hour time difference. My family from out of state were not only able to view the service online they were also able to sing at the service, by providing Mr. Nelson with a pre-recorded audio of the song they sung which
