Rhiel Funeral Home & Cremation Services

Rhiel Funeral Home & Cremation Services Rhiel Funeral Home & Cremation Services has been serving families since 1919. We proudly serve the Du Who We Are
Dignity. Respect. Empathy.

These words have guided Rhiel Funeral Home for nearly a century now. Three generations of the Rhiel family have followed the tradition of excellence established in Elmwood in 1919. In 1951, the Rhiel Family expanded to Durand, and in 2001, moved to a brand new building in Durand. In 1986, the Rhiel family expanded to Menomonie and associated with the Stanton family Funeral Home and continued to expand in 1992 and associated with Goodrich-Sampson Family Funeral Home and in 1996 moved into a new building in the Stout Technology Park across from the hospital in Menomonie. All three locations are family owned and operated. Through the years, we've been proud to play an important role in our communities. In many cases, we know your family and we share your grief. We are a small family-owned operation with personalized services every step of the way. Families will not go into this process alone. We will help you select your services and products, whether you choose traditional or cremation services. We are large enough to provide the resources you need, yet small enough to care and personal enough to help make choices for a memorable and appropriate service for your family.
