- Roger Nelson, early on, seemed to be destined to be in the funeral home business. The youngest of six siblings, Roger was given his name from one chosen from a tombstone in a cemetery by his older sisters. Nelson, Floyd County Coroner, began the business in 1971. He credits Bill Calihan and Larry Burke as being his mentors. The funeral home's motto, "Our family caring for your family, " rings true in every sense of the words. For "family" can be seen in nearly every room and aspect of the business. "Holding steadfast to family traditions, like we're use to here in the mountains, " Nelson says, contributes to his growing and continually exp-anding funeral home business. Both Nelson and his wife, Sandy, are funeral directors. "I never dreamed I'd be in this bus-iness, " Sandy said. "But when we lost our first child, a daughter, I wanted to be able to help peo-ple in their time of loss, like I had experienced, " she continued. Both sons, Gregory Scott and Roger Gene Nelson II, are also now licensed funeral directors, and embalmers. And the business family tree doesn't end there. Roger Nelson shared some of the changes that he has encountered through the years. "When we first started in the business, we had 58 services - that was in 1986. Last year, there were 379 services. People used to take their family members back to their homes, or to their church in the past. Funeral homes are now used more today for funeral services." He explained. The Nelson-Frazier Funeral Home originally began in a two-story building that quickly grew to its newer and more enlarged Martin location found today. And, not only the city of Martin but that of Hindman, also, are now other locations for the family owned and operated business. Additionally, another expansion to the family business is Nelson Monument Company. The Nelsons are quick to give praise to their extended staff which includes: Chuck Hall, Amy Campbell, Debbie Frazier, Jeremiah Swiger, Ballard Jones, Debbie Prater, Willa Dean Combs, Bonnie Reynolds, Kennith Gayheart, Jimmy Smith, Kermit Short, Larry Burke, Roger Rowe, Betsy Frazier, Sandra Baldridge, and Corey Watson. In your time of need, Nelson-Frazier Funeral Home truly can be found to be a neighboring and sympathetic "Family Caring for your Family"!

In November of 2014 my mother passed suddenly passed away. I am 24 years old and had never experienced something so traumatizing in my life. I had my mom taken to Nelson-Fraizer and the nightmare I was experiencing only got worse. Sandy was very rude and made the worst day of my life even worse. I asked if we could have a memorial at the funeral home after having mother cremated and she told me that I could rent out some other place to do that because she only had two chapels available while they were doing construction. Basically they are saving those for people who were going to spend more money than I was able to. We paid for a $400 urn but when we showed up 2 days later she had no idea who I was and handed me a cardboard box with my mothers remains. After asking where the urn was she acted clueless and chuckled saying "oh, you have to remind me of those things." She was very cold and had no compassion while filling out paperwork. When I would ask a question she would come back with a condescending attitude like a 24 year old girl should know the answer to. On top of all of this, a month and a half after my mother passed away I still hadn't recieved a death certificate. After calling the funeral home and them saying oh they should be in any time, my fiancé called the hospital and the funeral home had never sent them there. I just came home and almost two months later the death certificates are here in an envelope that was over stuffed and ripped open. I will NEVER take my family there ever again or recommend them to anyone. I only have one star because it won't let me give 0.
