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. They made sure everything was taken care of from start to finish. We were impressed by how professional and personable Dr. Robinson was, even with helping us navigate a difficult family situation. The staff was very respectful, caring and courteous. Thank you so much for everything!

I can not say enough good about Evan Smith's. Dr. Robinson is the most compassionate man i have ever met. Our case was very complicated and he did above and beyond to take this burden from me. Please don't use anyone but Evan Smiths Funeral Home. I can not thank you enough.
