Funeral Services

Funerals, done your family's way

Traditional services, visitations, and gatherings in our chapel — planned around what your family needs, not a package out of a binder.

Cremation

Our own crematory, on site

Eau Claire Memorial Crematory is ours. Your loved one never leaves our care, and cremation happens here, by our staff — never shipped to a third party.

Hmong Services

Traditional Hmong services

Hmong families from across the Eau Claire area come to Smith for these services — family-directed dressing, space for ceremony, food and music, streaming, and HMAA coordination.

“When you call at 2 in the morning, you get us — not a call center, not a corporation.”

Family owned means accountable

Smith was founded in 1956 by William and Agnes Smith and is now in its third generation of family ownership. The family that started it is the family that runs it — decisions here get made at the arrangement table, by the people you will actually meet, not at a head office somewhere else.

That also means traditions get respected here — all of them. A service that asks a lot of a space is not a problem to us. It is the service, and this is a place where it belongs.

Call us. Day or night.

Weekday, weekend, or holiday, our phone is answered around the clock. Should you not reach us directly, our live answering service will guide you, and relay your call to us right away. Planning ahead? Same call, no rush, no pressure.
