About Nelsen Funeral Home & Crematory - Reid Chapel
Nelsen Funeral Home & Crematory – Reid Chapel is a full-service funeral home in Ashland, Virginia, operating as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the country — families who prefer a locally or independently owned business may want to keep that in mind. They offer a range of services including cremation, burial, and pre-planning, and several reviewers specifically mention using their pre-arrangement services, suggesting staff are experienced in walking families through that process. Pricing information was not available for this location, so it would be worth contacting them directly to request a General Price List, which funeral homes are legally required to provide. With a 4.9-star rating across 58 Google reviews, customer feedback is consistently positive, with families frequently praising individual staff members by name for their compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail during a difficult time.

2 months agoMy parents were kind enough to preplan their funerals. When the time came I was so very grateful they thought ahead and took care of this sad part of life. I had no decisions to make.
