Services
Chapel Hill publishes two anchor prices: a sub-$2,000 cremation package and a mid-range traditional service including casket. The $5,500 Value Package excludes outer burial containers required by some cemeteries. Upgrade paths exist for casket selection. Pre-funding options available through their planning process.
Services are designed modularly—families start with a base package and add elements rather than building from scratch. The funeral home accommodates services at their chapel, churches, or other venues, with graveside/committal services available as follow-up or standalone gatherings.
Chapel Hill Funeral Home has operated from its location at 901 S Minnesota Avenue since 1999, when Doug Houseman became owner. The funeral home positions itself as an alternative to higher-priced competitors, emphasizing affordability without sacrificing personalization. Their approach centers on creating "healing experiences" through customized services that reflect individual lives—think DVD slideshows built around family stories, displayed personal items like knitted blankets or golf clubs, and trained life celebrants who lead non-clergy services.
The business model is straightforward: publish prices upfront, offer package deals, and let families upgrade selectively. This transparency is relatively uncommon in the funeral industry. Houseman, a 1987 graduate of Worsham College of Mortuary Science, brought experience from Minnesota funeral homes before establishing Chapel Hill as a locally owned, independent operation serving Sioux Falls and surrounding communities including Luverne, MN and Rowena, SD.

January 2025. Still hard to talk about and describe these "services," but he was kind, caring, and didn't try to push things on us that we didn't want, or couldn't afford. I felt he gave us what we needed and wanted for my mom at a good/ affordable price. Cremation services.
Contacted Doug for cremation services that were needed last minute and he was amazing. Made the process simple and easy. He was cost effective for the quality we were given. I highly recommend this funeral home.
They saved me.Doug met at the hospital set it all up.My mom passed that same day.They picked her up that day.He then delivered her ashes to me so I can make my flight tomorrow!
We contacted Chapel Hill to get a quote for a simple cremation for my mother in Febuary. Doug was very helpful, we learned we qualified for Fema funeral service funds because my mother passed from covid. After learning that she had no pre-paid funeral plans or funds, he also told...
