Nelson-Hillestad Funeral & Cremation Services

Nelson-Hillestad Funeral & Cremation Services, with locations in Redwood Falls and Morgan, Minnesota, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care for families since 1919. Locally owned and operated, the funeral home is dedicated to providing personalized, dignified services that honor the unique life of each individual. The Redwood Falls facility, situated at 111 S. Halvorson, was originally built in the mid-1920s as the Hardy family residence. In the 1960s, John Hoepner purchased the building and transformed it into a funeral home, a role it has served faithfully ever since. Today, under the ownership of Alan Hillestad, the funeral home continues its legacy of excellence, blending historic charm with modern amenities.
