• Burial – For families preferring burial, we carry a variety of headstones, markers and pet caskets
  
• Removal from Homes and Vet Clinics – With service 24 hours a day
  
• Caskets, urns, markers, and other commemorative items – view our entire selection of merchandise
  
• Advance Planning – Our counselors will help you make arrangements before a time of loss, so you will know exactly what to do when the time comes
  
• Free Cremation for Service Pets – It’s our way of honoring guide dogs, police dogs, and others who help in our daily lives
  
• Years of Community Service – Our family has been providing caring funeral services to area families for over 100 years at Nelsen Funeral Home & Crematory. Now we want to provide the same caring, compassionate service to families who have lost a beloved animal companions.
