Nelson Funeral Home in Gaylord, Otsego County, United States | Funeral and Death

Welcome to Nelson Funeral Home, Gaylord, United States. Nelson Funeral Home of Gaylord Michigan (d.b.a. Nelson Funeral Home, Inc.) is an independent family owned funeral home, established in 1965 by H. Charles Nelson. After working in the Detroit area for many years, Mr. Nelson purchased a family residence on the corner of Mitchell Street and Court Street in Gaylord, Michigan. The home was restored and remodeled several times to accommodate the growth of the business.

In 1974 Mr. Nelson and his wife Patricia purchased the Walker-Bates Funeral Home on Center Street, just north of Main Street. The businesses were managed at separate locations until 1977 when the Nelson establishment was closed. The consolidation was then known as the Nelson Funeral Home, Walker-Bates Chapel. Currently known as the Nelson Funeral Home, Inc., remodeling and redecorating has taken place several times at the 100-year-old Gaylord location in the past 39 years of Nelson ownership. In January of 2000, the Nelson Funeral Home welcomed the opening of its Prearrangement & Planning Center in neighboring Lewiston, Michigan.

The firm is a proud member of the Michigan Funeral Directors Association and the National Funeral Directors Association. H. Charles Nelson; his daughter, Carol Nelson-Snyder; and the Nelson Funeral Home Staff continue to service families with the utmost respect and compassion.
