Description

Brenny Family Funeral Chapel — a trusted funeral service provider in the Brainerd Lakes Area since 1933 and proud recipient of the 2025 Brainerd Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year Award — is seeking personable, compassionate professionals to join our team of Licensed Funeral Directors.

Our Funeral Directors live our mission of serving families with compassion, dignity, and respect by:
