Founded in 1983, the Staples location at 309 Northeast 4th Street serves as the anchor of the Brenny family of funeral homes, which includes additional chapels in Baxter/Brainerd, Crosslake, Pequot Lakes, Randall, and Pine River.

In 2018, it was nominated as the Best Funeral Home in the Brainerd Lakes Area, reflecting its commitment to excellence.

The Brenny team understands that after a loss, families may not know where to begin. They walk alongside each family, helping them tell their loved one's unique story through a meaningful final tribute. Services include traditional burial, cremation, and onsite chapel ceremonies. The Staples facility underwent a complete remodel in 2013 to better meet family needs, featuring a large selection room and a sitting area with a fireplace, creating a warm and comforting environment. The business also offers financial assistance options and has wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, ensuring accessibility for all.

Brenny provides comprehensive support, from immediate funeral arrangements to preplanning services. They offer a preplanning checklist to help individuals plan ahead, easing future burdens for their families. The website features a one-year grief support program that provides weekly messages of strength and comfort. Family feedback highlights the team's availability and guidance, with one client stating, "They're always there if you have a question or don't know what you're doing." In a recent expansion, Halvorson-Taylor Funeral and Cremation Care joined the Brenny family, further extending their reach and service capacity in the region.

As a member of the National Funeral Directors Association and the Arrowhead Funeral Directors Association, Brenny Funeral Chapel and Cremation Specialists uphold the highest standards of dignity, empathy, and professionalism.
