Yet for those who have recently experienced the death of a beloved family member or friend, an obituary means so much more. It's a bittersweet reminder of the loss, but it can also help you to remember the joy you shared during their lifetime. If you have recently lost someone you love, please accept our deepest condolences.
These loving events allow you to honor the memory of the deceased and pay tribute to his or her life. Recognizing that every individual is unique, the dedicated professionals at Evan W. Smith Funeral Services deliver personalized assistance to create a meaningful service that pays respect to the distinctive life and legacy of your loved one.
A key part of making these preparations involves choosing between burial and cremation. This is a big decision and a number of factors can weigh into it, including religious beliefs, finances, and ecological awareness, to name a few. Whatever your reasons for considering cremation for yourself or a loved one, it's important to know what's involved so you can make the best decision for your situation.
This event can be held shortly after death or weeks later, with or without an urn present. You can choose to hold the memorial service at church, one of our funeral homes, the final resting place, your home, or some other preferred location. These events usually include music, selected readings, and a eulogy, but these elements aren't required.
At Evan W. Smith Funeral Services, we take immense pride in serving our nation's veterans and active-duty servicemen and women. Their dedication and sacrifice define our nation, and we consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to give back to these heroes. Our duty is to provide former and current members of the U.S. military and their families with the most professional and dignified assistance during their time of need.

Almost 2 years have gone by since i buried my husband. Often i am thankful for the kindness i was shown by Evan Smith. The funeral was complicated by the means of his death. The life insurance company refused to pay and my 401 had to allow me to withdraw but were being difficult. Losing my husband was the hardest thing i have ever had to deal with, and both companies were not nice. Evan went above and beyond to help me and showed me kindness that you usually only feel from family. I love this man because he not only have excellent service he did it with love to a broken woman he had never met before

This company and staff is truly an amazing place to come by. Being 26 trying to plan the loss of my dad was so hard to do and figure out where to even start. After calling a few a few establishments (places turned me away, talked to me like I was literally nothing at all) I began to get overwhelmed, hurt and discouraged. I called them just knowing they too would not want to help me because there wasn't any insurance money involved. They didn't! They handled me so gentle and I needed that because I was so fragile on the inside. Everything from the first conversation to the day of the funeral was

Dr. Robinson and the staff at Evan W Smith Funeral Home have provided a very beautiful and dignified home going service for my late grandmother.
