Not Your Average Funeral Home

In order to learn a little more about this award-winning business and its stand-out online reputation, we took a few minutes to talk with Michael Wight, Funeral Director and owner of Wight and Comes Funeral Chapel.

The first question we had for Michael was what sets Wight and Comes Funeral Chapel apart from their competition in South Dakota. Michael points to the fact that they’ve been around for more than 100 years and have established a reputation in their community for respected services and quality customer service.

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Wight and Comes Funeral Home and how they work to make the world a better place. Michael told us that they aim to help families and make the burden of loss easier, as well as to follow through on wishes.

Building Success Through Social Media

Michael attributes Wight and Comes Funeral Chapel’s strong online reputation to the social media presence they’ve built up over the past year by doing promotions on Facebook to get more likes and traction.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Wight and Comes Funeral Chapel has gotten their name out there through advertisements in the radio and newspaper, as well as regional sponsorships.

There are so many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. When asked what advice he has for those business owners, Michael emphasizes the importance of having a Facebook presence and said:

“Referral business and word of mouth are most important.”


Congratulations to the team at Wight and Comes Funeral Chapel for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Michael, for taking the time to speak with us!
