Virginia Elsey
Mieth
Jul 21, 1932 — Dec 12, 2020
Nelson
The Staff at Price Funeral Homes are following the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) recommendation which allows funerals, party's must maintain a minimum of 6' apart and consist of a household unit or individual. This would include arrangements conferences, funeral services, gravesides and all visitations. We fully understand the importance for public gatherings to honor the lives of those we care about, the CDC believes common sense and limiting numbers at public gatherings is one of the most significant resources that may slow the spread and impact of this pandemic.
The service will be live-streamed on Price Funeral Homes-Superior and Nelson Facebook page. The direct link for that page is

About 5 minutes before the service, the streaming will start. The video can later be viewed on our Facebook page.
