Viewings & Mortuary Care

Once contacted, Nielsen Funerals will arrange for the transfer of your loved one from the place of death into our care.

Once your loved one has been carefully transferred into our care you can rest assured that they will receive the utmost respect and dignity by our caring team at our accredited mortuary facility. A qualified embalmer is also available.

The family may like to select some clothing for your loved one to be dressed in.

The choice of what type of clothing is entirely up to the family, some people select a full suit or formal dress while others will prefer comfortable pyjamas or night dress.

When selecting clothing we would also ask for underclothing to be included.

When required Nielsen Funerals can supply an appropriate simple garment.

The option of a viewing is an entirely personal choice, some people will feel the need to spend some time with their loved one and will benefit greatly from the chance to say a final goodbye. Others may prefer to remember the person as they were.

Personal items such as photos and letters can be placed in the coffin at the viewing or can be given to us to have placed inside.

A viewing can be offered in the days leading up to the funeral and would usually be held in our private and comfortable chapel. A viewing can also take place immediately prior to the funeral service.
