Nilson-Millard Cremation and Burial Center

Nilson-Millard Cremation and Burial Center operates at 5611 East St. Charles Road in Columbia, Missouri, serving families throughout eastern Columbia, Boone County, and surrounding communities including Centralia, Hallsville, and Sturgeon. The facility became part of the Millard Family Chapels network in 2014, partnering with Parker-Millard Funeral Service & Crematory to expand local resources while maintaining community roots.

The center occupies the site of the former Nilson Funeral Home, preserving a longstanding tradition of local funeral service. As a family-owned operation within the Millard network, Nilson-Millard positions itself as an alternative to corporate funeral providers, emphasizing personal touch and community connection. The facility offers a peaceful setting for families to gather, plan services, and hold memorial events.
