Services
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn. Mourning is the open expression of your thoughts and feelings regarding the death and the person who died. It is an essential part of healing. The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.
You talk about many things with your loved ones: from day-to-day details to big events. Sharing stories with those who matter most isn't just important today; it will be especially significant when it's time to honor and commemorate your lives. Memorialization at the end of life is more than it used to be.

We entrusted our loved one with Smith&Thomas funeral home. Everyone was so nice from the lady Eunice, to the guy Joe that collects the money. I was thinking to myself that these people are laying it on thick with the acts of kindness. I know that this is a business and everyone has been trained to show the bereaving family compassion and empathy. I get it. But something happened that caught me completely off gaurd.... Me and one of my relatives were talking about ghost peppers and all the dishes that we cook with them and also how hard they are to find. The owner Eric Smith overheard us and when

Cathy and Ilene are some of the nicest people. Very professional, and caring during difficult time of losing a love one. Staff is on point. My grandmother was funeralize at Johnson, a few days ago. My grandmother was the oldest client they ever service 105 and a half. She looked 20 years younger in her casket. They did beautiful work to my grandmother, very pleased.

You all went above and beyond for my family and I. I have nothing but great remarks for you. My sister Shinnel looked absolutely beautiful. I am so happy that my brother Robert chose you all. The staff was very considerate of our needs and helped us to achieve everything that we wanted for my sister. Thank you so much.

There is no question about these loving people. They in fact love their job!!! Although death is rough they made it easier every step of the way. The staff was professional, empathetic, patient, loving, the energy was calm. They addressed us by using “family” which just that word alone my family found comfort. Although my precious daughter was… gone, I her mother, her brothers, her uncle, and her grandpa weren’t separated by death but a reminder we are family and will remain. I can say they helped our family through such a difficult processes. Our sincerest Thank you.
