With guidance and compassion we are able to offer you some peace of mind in an emotional and trying time, while handling all the technical details of the funeral.
Although cremation dates back to ancient times, it has only recently become a more common choice throughout the United States. People choose cremation for a variety of reasons. Some do so based on environmental considerations. Others have philosophical or religious reasons. Many people believe that choosing cremation means limiting your options.
The average cost of a traditional funeral today is approximately $10,000 - $12,000. This includes professional services of funeral director and staff, embalming, use of facilities and/or equipment for calling hours and funeral ceremony, transfer from place of death to funeral home, necessary vehicles, an average-priced casket and concrete vault.

When my grandmother died my family had no idea where to turn or what to do. The staff was kind from the very first phone call. After my mom called the funeral home to report the passing, she felt less anxious. I went to the arrangements appointment with my mom, and the ladies at Nordgren couldn’t have been more kind to us. They made such a stressful time that much easier. I know it sounds cliche, but they made us feel like family. My grandmother looked so beautiful. I have attended other wakes and looked at other bodies, but I have never seen someone look so natural and at peace. The embalmer

It's always stressful and emotional when a loved one dies and when you have to plan a service it can only add to the stress. The staff here made the process 100% more stress free than I could ever imagine.
The whole arrangement was absolutely beautiful. I know it sounds strange to say something in such a sad event but everything from the setup to the care of our loved one, it just seemed so flawless. These people just want us to feel comfortable and loved and it shows in their work.
Honestly I've never felt so much care and love from complete strangers. It was like they were family. If you're

The woman who was in charge of my grandmothers wake and funeral today was quite rude and had no empathy. As soon as my family had shown up she was asking people to sign papers and asking about payment before allowing us to see our loved one. With only "one funeral service a day" she seemed to be in quite a rush to push us out the door by verbally announcing we need to move to the cars and the time to talk to each other is at the cemetery or afterwards.
Very disappointed about how we were treated by this woman. The fact that this treatment came during a wake/funeral just made it even worse.
