Vacant job

At E. Nilsson's Funeral Agency, we have been by families' sides in Småland for over 120 years. With roots in Växjö and offices in Rottne, Lammhult, Lessebo, Ingelstad, Hovmantorp, and Rydaholm, we are close when life changes. Today, we are 12 dedicated employees who work every day to create security and care.

We are with you from the first contact until everything is concluded, whether it involves planning a personal funeral ceremony, arranging a memorial service, handling burial, gravestone issues, or assisting with estate inventory and inheritance distribution. Thanks to our own legal department, transport department, and our bearers, we can offer comprehensive support throughout the entire process.

Our guiding principles, responsiveness, helpfulness, flexibility, forward-thinking, and humanity, are something we strive to carry with us in every meeting.
