The people you'll meet

The people you will deal with are from here — the same small staff answers the phone, works the visitation, and stands with your family on the day.

The people of Smith

A family-owned funeral home means the people who own it are the people who serve you. These are the names behind ours.

The Founders

William & Agnes Smith

William and Agnes Smith founded Smith Funeral Chapel in 1956. Agnes' name still greets families every day — our gathering space, Agnes' Dining Hall, is named for her, because feeding people is part of caring for them.

Today

The Smith family, third generation

The chapel is now in its third generation of family ownership. Ownership here is not a name on a corporate chart — the family is in this building every day, and when something matters, they are the ones you talk to.

Preplanning

Eliza Smith & Arnie

Eliza and Arnie are Smith's preplanning team — the two people who will sit down with you to record your wishes and, if you wish, fund them ahead. Arnie has been at this work a long time and is teaching Eliza the ropes. Meet them on the Preplanning page →

Day or Night

The voice on the phone

When you call at 2 in the morning, you get us — not a call center, not a corporation. The people who answer are the people who will care for your family, start to finish, under this roof.
