The history of our family funeral home begins in 1946 when J. Roger Smith opened the doors of the Smith Funeral Home in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Shortly thereafter in 1951, he purchased and renovated the Gardner residence in his home town of Shelburne Falls. From these two locations J. Roger was able to provide his neighbors the guidance needed at the most the difficult times in their lives.
His calm, gentle demeanor was a great comfort to the families he served. In 1972 J. Roger welcomed his son-in-law, Daniel M. Kelleher into the business thus changing the name to the Smith-Kelleher Funeral Home. Dan and his wife Pamela (Smith), raised their five sons above the funeral home in Shelburne Falls.

At a time when the last thing we wanted to worry about was dealing with mundane details, Tim Kelleher was the kindest, most compassionate person who could have come to our aid. We went to 3 different funeral homes in the area and were not happy with any of them and then we met Tim and right away we knew we would be taken care of. Extremely professional and always patient and caring, we highly recommend his service, should you need it - although we hope you don’t.
