L.D. Miller Funeral Home

Alright, let’s step back into early 1900s Sioux Falls. Imagine horses clip-clopping by as Lee D. Miller opens his humble livery barn and funeral home here—now, that’s not your average neighborly combo! By the 1920s, old Lee must’ve been quite the business magician, merging two rival funeral homes into his own. Things got even livelier when he brought in an all-star sidekick—his wife—who just happened to be the first woman ever licensed as an embalmer in all of South Dakota! That certainly raised some eyebrows and, I imagine, maybe even inspired a few ghost stories along Main Avenue.
