Welcome to the Furness Funeral Home web page. Furness Funeral Home has served the Clark, South Dakota area for over 75 years, serving Clark County, Eastern Spink County, Western Codington County, and Southern Day County.

The funeral is a meaningful event, helping ease the pain of separation that naturally accompanies death. It is a time when respect, concern, and appreciation for the life that has been lived can be expressed in a sincere manner. The funeral is an experience of value and, when properly planned, can provide lasting satisfaction and comfort to survivors. It is with this thought in mind that we provide an avenue for friends and relatives who are not able to attend the funeral or visitation to remember their loved one. When reviewing an obituary on our website, guests are able to send online condolences to the family.

After nearly fifty years in funeral service, Greg Furness has retired from day-to-day activities at the funeral home. Greg is happy to continue assisting with funeral services when he is available, and will continue his ownership for the near future through a continued association with Pioneer Enterprises Inc., an employee-owned affiliation of South Dakota and Wyoming funeral directors who promote local ownership and management.
