Traditional Service
For most traditional services the body is placed in a casket and there is a visitation that will take place. After the visitation a funeral service is held. The service can take place at a church or even right at our funeral home. After the service the body is buried in a cemetery or entombed in a mausoleum.

Cremation
For those families preferring cremation, many options are available. We offer memorial services or a full funeral with visitation, followed by cremation. We also offer minimal cremations for those families preferring no ceremony.

Infant Deaths
At the Peterson Chapel we offer our services at no charge to the families affected by an infant's death. We will provide a visitation with a funeral service, or simply a graveside service. The combination casket/vault are also something that we provide free of charge.

Native Americans
Our funeral homes have served the Lakota, Dakota and Chippewa families for more than seventy years. All night wakes are customary at our chapels and we have funeral directors and embalmers who are fully licensed in South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. There are no extra transportation costs for any deaths in South Dakota, Wisconsin or Minnesota. Also there are no extra costs for deaths and funerals in the Minneapolis area.
