One of
Three Visitation Rooms
Our
mission is to offer the finest selection of service available
to families; whether it be simple or elaborate, burial or
cremation, services.
We feel that the death of a family member or close friend
has always been a significant time in all our lives. We feel
a great responsibility when entrusted with the needs of the
families we serve. The funeral is a summary of one's life
and should express their individuality. Our goal is to ensure
that your family and the loved one you bring to us is cared
for with the utmost dignity and respect.
In serving area families, we have recognized the need for
a room in which the youngest family members can relax, unwind,
or simply play. With age-appropriate toys, books, and puzzles
in place, children are welcomed at Nordgren Memorial Chapel.
We
have found it very convienent for parents to be able to bring
their children with them to the funeral home as well as be
helpful for the children, instead of being shielded from the
loss of a loved-one, be included tenderly in experiencing
the circle of life.
