Located in downtown Cloquet at 10th St. and Cloquet Avenue, Nelson Funeral Care is the fastest growing funeral provider in the area serving over 120 families a year. More families are selecting us because of our experience serving families and compassionate staff.

We have a great location, free parking area with handicap accessibility, large chapel, fellowship room for luncheons, private family room, childrens room, spacious foyer with a grand piano and a staff of over a dozen Cloquet area residents to assist families.

Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.

Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
