Eau Claire Memorial Crematory | On-Site Cremation at Smith Funeral Chapel

Cremation by our own hands,
in our own building

A lot of funeral homes send cremation out to a third-party facility in another town. We never have. In 1982, Smith became the first funeral home in Eau Claire County to install an on-site crematory — and Eau Claire Memorial Crematory is still our own, here at 2222 London Rd. Your loved one stays in our care from the moment they arrive until they are back with your family.

Your loved one never leaves our care

Why on-site matters

Chain of Care

One building, one staff

The same people who sit with your family operate our crematory. There is no handoff, no transport to another facility, no stranger in the chain.

Your Timing

Cremation on your family's schedule

Because the crematory is here, timing works around your family's needs — including services, gatherings, and traditions that take days, not hours.

Be There

Family presence options

Some families want to be present, or to hold a service before cremation. Ask us — we will walk through what is possible and what other families have done.

Cremation with a service, or without

Cremation is a method of care, not a lesser service.

Families choose anything from a full funeral with visitation before cremation, to a memorial service after, to a simple cremation with family present for a goodbye. The care in this building is the same either way — and traditions around preparation, dressing, and what accompanies your loved one are honored with the same attention we give every family here.
