About Us

"My great grandfather could never dream what would occur in his business and the Australian community over the past 150 years. Yet with all these changes, one thing remains the same: the Nelson family commitment to quality and to professional

Theo Nelson   

Nelson Bros Funeral Services are Melbourne's oldest family-owned funeral directors. With five modern funeral homes across Melbourne suburbs, we maintain the highest standards to provide professional quality care in everything we do. Our aim is not to be the biggest funeral directors in Melbourne, but to be the best.

Five generations of the Nelson family have managed and operated the family business. Today, Managing Director Theo Nelson is supported by two of his children, Adrian and Priscilla.

Our funeral homes are comfortable and modern with spacious chapels, separate refreshment areas, private arrangement rooms and ample car parking.

We are experienced in dealing with specific cultural or religious needs, as necessary in multicultural Australia.

Nelson Bros Bereavement Resource Centre has provided assistance for those in the community dealing with loss and grief since 1987.

Nelson Bros remains at the forefront of innovations that provide real comfort and care at a most difficult time.

Providing services like pre-planning, cemetery canopies and seating, a lending library, and referral to grief support groups are but a few examples. We continue our long history of looking to the future.
