Melbourne's oldest family owned funeral company
For over 150 years, after five generations, the Nelson family continues the tradition of quality funeral service, providing sound advice, bereavement and professional care.
Planning Ahead
Many events in our lives are planned in advance, including holidays, weddings or wills. We also plan for events we hope never happen, including fires, sickness and accidents. Pre-planning or pre-paying a funeral is simply an extra component of financial planning. It makes you aware of future costs and enables you to prepare for them.
Elegance Menu
We understand that organising your own separate function and refreshments may be stressful if you are coping with grief. Nelson Bros can help you with our range of delicious refreshment options, from freshly brewed tea and coffee to our famous sandwich platters and delectable hot savouries.
Funerals of Distinction
Every minute of every day, Nelson Bros is ready to help Victorian families, just as we have since 1858. We are always there when you need us.
Putting families first, we maintain the highest standards to provide professional quality care in everything we do.
Australia's finest funeral transport
Nelson Bros Funeral Services has the finest funeral transport in Australia, from our graceful and modern black Rolls Royce fleet to our vintage horse-drawn hearse and magnificent 1926 Buick hearse.
