I'm so very pleased that we picked Nelson Family Mortuary for the funeral service and graveside…read moreservice of my 17-year-old granddaughter. We had the funeral service in their Provo funeral home and the graveside service in Heber City. Lance Nelson and his staff, Isabelle, Claire and Colin, were very patient and compassionate as I shed many tears each time I called the funeral home prior to my granddaughter's expected death and after. They listened each time I called and were very helpful. I called them every day during the two weeks of planning with questions I had about things, and it was great that someone was always available to help me; and if I had a question after hours, the answering service took a message, and I was contacted shortly thereafter. The rooms for the service in Provo were beautiful and had mountain views. Everything went smoothly. They provided tables with tablecloths, easels and stands for the flowers, two slideshows (for the viewing and a separate one for the funeral service), and livestreams for both services. Lance and Allison attended the funeral service and graveside service to make certain everything went smoothly. The planning meeting with them was easy. They had caskets onsite which was a surprise, and we picked the one we liked best. We expressed to them how we wanted the services to go, and they did every single thing the way we wanted. They also made my granddaughter look very beautiful in her casket for the viewing. She wore a single braid and they inserted tiny silk flowers we provided them plus matching nail polish. We received many compliments about how beautiful the funeral services were. I suggest you have the butterfly release, as it was extraordinary. If you're looking for a mortuary for a loved one, pick this place! I'm certain your experiences will be like ours: easy planning, and the most beautiful send off for your loved one. My family, friends and I will have these memories forever! I was even able to watch the service again on their website so that I remember each and every detail of it forever. Also, my sister who couldn't attend on the day of the service was able to watch it at a later date.

Steve performed the services of my first dog Roscoe in 2015, and it was comforting to see him still working for Arrowood and conduct the burial service of our little girl Ruby. The setup of the burial was so beautiful and the burial grounds were impeccable, and very well maintained. My first pet was buried at Arrowood in the 1990s, and I couldn't have picked a better place for my feather friends and fur kids who passed away years ago. Thank you for easing our heavy hearts from the loss of our beloved dog who lost her battle to cancer. I couldn't have honored her any better.

Roland took care of all of the behind the scenes services directly with other providers, especially since my husband's body went from the hospital, to a organ donation center, to the county morgue and then to the crematorium. He kept me up to date about what was going on and when we could plan services on our side. Roland made an experience that no one wants to go through very pleasant.

He really was patient and kind while in our time of hurt to direct everything to help run smoothly, in addition to Karen. The flyers of the luncheon information passed out at the end were so thoughtful, on top of Karen calling the restaurant ahead of time with a more precise headcount. We didn't even ask for this - they were steps ahead! They also worked to pack up everything we needed to pick up after the interment. And Michael gave me a copy of my dad's prayer card from years ago when I mentioned I may have misplaced mine after moving twice since then. I was so speechless and touched. What an amazing, compassionate team! I can't thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts. I hope no one has to frequent any funeral home (since it would mean loved ones have passed away), but this is definitely the place I would choose over and over again.

I was unhappy when my mother passed (Nov 2016) to have received an invoice for $1000 more then what I was quoted. The casket price was 2,000 despite the conversation I wanted to stay around 1,000. Both my Aunt and I had called George and my understanding was there was going to be an adjustment on the quote (500 but still it was something.) Recently, I found out my father had received the bill, and paid the full amount and there was no adjustment. That's fine and the service was okay, but don't lie to me about it, or if something comes up, inform me so I am not surprised. I will try to find someone different for our family in the future.
