Why Choose Us

The staff at Osheim & Schmidt Funeral Home takes great pride in caring for each family we serve. Since 1946, we have been honored to continually serve Rapid City as a locally owned and independent funeral home. Our staff’s experience, professionalism, attention to detail and caring approach is second to none. We are proud to employ seven licensed funeral directors including two Certified Funeral Service Practitioners (CFSP) with a combined experience level of 290 years. We understand that each life we honor is as unique as the specific needs of their family they leave behind. We will listen and consult with you to help create a custom arrangement tailored to that special person.


Whether your family wants an elegant funeral, unique life celebration or a simple and private arrangement, you can

be assured that your loved one’s memory and each detail will be cared for with the greatest honor and respect.

Online Memorial

We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.

Tribute Video

We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or digital files of the video are also available.

Ordering Flowers

We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.

Sharing Service Details

We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or Twitter page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
