Nelson Funeral Care is your only locally owned funeral home and cremation service. Rob and Lori Nelson purchased the Medich Snyder Drug building in downtown Cloquet located at 1004 Cloquet Avenue.
They renovated it to accommodate a large chapel, fellowship room for luncheons, private family room, children's room, spacious foyer with a grand piano. They opened in January of 1998 and began serving the community. Rob is a licensed funeral director in both Minnesota and Wisconsin and has worked in funeral service for over 40 years. Local ownership gives the flexibility to work closely with families on arrangement details and costs.
Rob, Lori, and their staff members are caring and experienced professionals who understand that each family is unique and have personal requests and traditions. These requests and traditions are of utmost importance. They know that making the many decisions that come at a time of loss can be difficult. It is their job to understand, show respect and preserve dignity. To offer comfort and to assist families in their most challenging time.
"As a local, family-owned funeral provider, our greatest asset is experience. We believe it is our priority to listen to families, answer their questions, offer them ideas and options, arrange all the details, provide them with the dignified level of service and meet each of their unique and personal needs." - Rob
