Three Generations of Care

Smith Funeral Chapel was founded by William and Agnes Smith in 1956 with a simple commitment: to care for families with compassion, dignity, and personal attention during life’s most difficult moments.

In 1982, we became the first funeral home in Eau Claire County to install an on-site crematory, continuing our commitment to serving the evolving needs of western Wisconsin families.

Today, three generations later, we remain devoted to helping families honor life with warmth, respect, and heartfelt care.

Families We Have Served

  • A beautifully renovated facility that has a nice clean modern look to it, yet very comforting.

    The chapel area can hold a little over 200 seated, plus there’s a nice grand piano and a clear sound system. Love the huge screen in the front with the picture of the deceased.
    There’s a grand fireplace in the main room, a nice side room for meeting and four easily accessible individual bathrooms. A nice area for a luncheon with a room that overlooks Hastings Way, but it’s very quiet and soundproof.

  • The staff are extremely compassionate people and truly helped me during my family’s time of need.

    They explained the difficult process when we had no idea what to do or what comes next and they did it with sincere compassion and understanding. The other funeral homes I called before Smith were all business and it felt cold.
    I’m so grateful for all you have done, thank you!
    I’d say I would do business with you again but I hope I don’t find myself in this type of situation ever again.

    —Mac W

  • My mom was very clear—she only wanted Smith Family Funeral Home to handle her services.

    Before she became ill, she met with Erin several times, and each time Erin was both professional and genuinely compassionate. When the time came, everything was carried out exactly as my mom had planned. We are so grateful to Erin and the entire team at Smith Family for guiding us through such a difficult time with care and grace. They turned a painful experience into something comforting and meaningful. We’re thrilled about their new remodeled building and can only imagine how much more incredible everything will be in their upgraded space.

    —Jane Kunick

  • Chris from Smiths is An Angel

    I cannot express enough gratitude for this man and this business. The tragic passing of my father was the first time I had to deal with the affairs of losing a loved one, and Chris made it the absolute best experience possible during such a dark time. He was humorous but always appropriate, kind, empathetic, and even helped offer options during our hardship.

    His smile, hospitality, and genuine care were such a blessing. It never felt like it was about money, which is so hard to find. I couldn’t have picked a better place, and I’m so grateful we chose them.

    Thank you again. I’m eternally grateful for all your help.

  • On behalf of the entire family, I want to thank Erin and everyone at Smith Funeral Chapel for the caring and professional manner in which you handled the services for our mother (Edna B King).

    It was a very difficult situation for us and we are still struggling in dealing with her loss, but you and your staff did an exemplary job in working with us through this tough time. For that we are truly grateful and very appreciative of how much you and your staff care.
    - Mike King

  • There are only positive things I can say when it comes to working with Smith Funeral Chapel & Crematory.

    In the two times our family endured the loss of loved ones over the past three years, the family at Smith Funeral Chapel & Crematory went out of their way to make the process as stress-free as possible for our family. With nine children under 26 losing both parents, their kindness, flexibility, and professionalism meant everything to us.

    From financial payment options and transportation arrangements to coordinating with hospitals, out-of-state funeral homes, and cemeteries, they handled every detail with care. They also welcomed and supported our traditional Hmong funeral service, allowing us to gather for 24 hours with more than 100 guests, meals, and family traditions.

    We could not be happier with how open, comforting, respectful, and professional everyone at Smith Funeral Chapel & Crematory was during such difficult circumstances. Thank you for helping us give our parents the best funeral services we could.

    We highly recommend them to any family in need.
