Heather Frazier Besoiu has assumed the role of community relations director. A native of Claremont, she graduated from Bunker Hill High School in 1992 and attended Catawba Valley Community College. She has over 20 years of experience in healthcare and began working in the funeral ministry five years ago. She is also a licensed crematory operator. She enjoys staying active in the Rotary, Salvation Army, and the Chamber of Commerce.

Chris Besoiu will take on the role of general manager. He received a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and business management from Youngstown State University. He then earned a  bachelor’s degree in mortuary science from the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science. He has worked in the funeral ministry for over 24 years, spending the majority of his time in the Charlotte and Hickory areas. Just like his wife Heather, he enjoys being active in his community and has served with the Rotary, Salvation Army, and the Chamber of Commerce.

When crisis hit New York and California during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris and Heather traveled to be an active part of the relief efforts.

“We are thrilled to be able to assemble such a qualified, compassionate family of experts to serve our Nicholson client families,” said Bill Brater, president of Nicholson Funeral Home.
