Located at 1617 Orchard Drive in Brookings, the funeral home has built a reputation for personalized care and attention to detail, reflected in its exceptional 4.9-star rating from the families it has served. As an employee-owned and operated business, the team at Eidsness takes pride in treating every family with the same warmth and professionalism they would offer their own loved ones.

The funeral home offers a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the unique needs of each family. These include traditional funeral services, cremation options, memorial ceremonies, and graveside services. Every arrangement is carefully tailored to honor the life and wishes of the deceased, whether that involves a religious service, a simple cremation with a private gathering, or a personalized celebration of life.

The funeral home also provides grief support resources, including a year-long program of weekly messages designed to offer strength and comfort during the grieving journey.

The facilities are fully wheelchair accessible, with accessible entrances, parking, restrooms, and seating to accommodate all guests. On-site parking is available at each location.
