A method of manufacturing a light emitting device includes: arranging a first light emitting element and a second light emitting element, each having a pair of first and second electrodes disposed on a surface opposite to a main light emitting surface, on a base body adjacent to each other with the pair of electrodes facing upward; forming a pair of electrically conductive members each extending between one of the pair of electrodes of the first light emitting element and a corresponding one of the pair of electrodes of the second light emitting element; forming a light shielding member at least covering between the first and second light emitting elements; and cutting the pair of electrically conductive members and the light shielding member between the first and second light emitting elements, along a direction substantially perpendicular to the main light emitting surface of each of the first and second light emitting elements.
