Nelson Bros Funeral Services

Nelson Bros Funeral Services are Melbourne's oldest family-owned funeral directors. With five modern funeral homes across Melbourne suburbs, we maintain the highest standards to provide professional quality care in everything we do. Our aim is not to be the biggest funeral directors in Melbourne, but to be the best.

We are experienced in dealing with specific cultural or religious needs, as necessary in multicultural Australia.

Nelson Bros Bereavement Resource Centre has provided assistance for those in the community dealing with loss and grief since 1987.

Start planning today

Although there are many decisions to be made when arranging a funeral, as experienced funeral directors we can assist you in all stages of planning. Some considerations to start your planning are:

• Who should arrange the funeral?
• When is the best/worst time to arrange a funeral?
• Should I pre-pay my funeral?

• Shall I include funeral arrangements in my will?
• Nelson Bros Personal Planning Guide
• Should I be buried or cremated?
• What type of funeral service do most families select?
