About Porter Funeral Home

Porter Funeral Home in Hudson traces its roots to 1952, when Alvin Porter began his apprenticeship in Sioux Falls. The Hudson location was acquired in 1985 when Randy and Ric Porter purchased the VanDe More Funeral Home, expanding the family's presence into South Dakota after establishing funeral homes in Iowa communities during the 1950s and 1960s.

Randy Porter joined his father in 1972 after graduating from the Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science, and Ric Porter followed in 1983 as a graduate of the same institution. The firm operates multiple locations serving Hudson and Lincoln County, as well as Hawarden, Ireton, Rock Valley, and Inwood across the state line in Iowa. Ric Porter and his wife Cynthia are based in Hawarden, overseeing operations with their staff across all five funeral home locations.
