L.D. Miller Funeral Home, commonly known as the Miller Funeral Home, is a historic building at 507 South Main Avenue in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
In either 1902 or 1903, Lee D. Miller established his funeral home and a livery barn on South Main Avenue in Sioux Falls. In 1923, Miller hired local architectural firm Perkins & McWayne to build a new, larger facility on the property, as Miller had just incorporated two other local funeral homes—Burnside Funeral Home and Joseph Nelson Funeral Home—into his. Miller's wife was the first woman embalmer to be licensed in the state of South Dakota and worked with him at the funeral home.[2] On August 18, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance and contributions to Sioux Falls' economy.[1]
