Each family's needs are different and special.  We listen with sensitivity, answer all questions and respect your choices. Then, we take care of all the details.

Times change, and old ways of doing things are replaced by new and better ways.  In response to an ever-changing world, we are continually updating and improving on everything we do for the families we are privileged to serve.

We PROMISE to help create meaningful ceremonies that celebrate the lives of those who have died and bring comfort and healing to the living.

Keep in mind that the funeral is a meaningful event that can help ease the pain of separation which naturally accompanies death.  It is a time of sharing good memories and experiences with your family and friends.  It is a time when respect, concern, and appreciation for a life that has been lived can be expressed in a sincere manner.  The funeral is an experience of value and when properly planned can provide lasting satisfaction and comfort to the survivors.  Our professional staff can assist you in planning and coordinating all of the details.  We will explain all of the options.

Our sincerest hope is that you and your family will be comforted by our efforts.

We know that death often comes at a time when survivors are least prepared financially.  We solicit your frankness in these matters and assure you that our policy is to assist in every way possible.  We are happy to assist in matters of veteran’s and social security benefits, life insurance procedures, and probate.

Rude's Funeral Home is located at 105 West 8th Street South, 1/4 mile West of Main Avenue or on the South side of the Brookings Airport.  Please feel free to call Rude's Funeral Home for directions.
