I didn't know what to expect. I had heard horror stories of upselling, and even pressure sales at such a vulnerable time in folks lives. Mandy NEVER did that at all!! She was EXTREMELY gracious and pleasant. She was caring as she guided me through the process and helped answer questions and concerns I didn't even know I had. Never once did I feel pressured or pushed. Mandy herself has been so very helpful and gracious. Our funeral is this weekend, and thanks to Mandy and Smiths funeral home, I have been able to just mourn and not stress the process. Forever grateful!

When the team sat with us to discuss their services, we were still in the "research" phase. They did not try to pressure us to go with them. However, my dad ended up passing the next day.

This included us letting them know we'd like to use their services, and they stayed up late at night trying to get everything solidified as well as to ensure my dad's body could be transported and everything.

My mom passed away in San Antonio, TX and they coordinated with another funeral home and solved problems the one in San Antonio couldn't and transported her body from San Antonio to Little Rock. The staff was so courteous and caring and went out of their way to make me feel everything was under control because the last thing I needed was stress during that time. Craig and Mandy took amazing care of me and were patient with me during my constant barrage of questions and concerns. Also, the way my mom looked was incredible. It's almost as if they knew how she had looked all her life and she looked so peaceful and natural. They dressed her in an outfit my wife picked out and put the jewelry on her in such a classy way. The graveside funeral itself was such a special time for our family and was exactly what we wanted. Billy was so caring, patient and compassionate. I could tell this was more than just a job for him - he really cares about people and God bless him! We never felt rushed or pressured. If you ever require their services (and I pray it's a VERY long time before you do) this is the place you need to call. Thanks so much Smith Funeral Home for a job amazingly done!

Ok so Im grieving the recent loss of my Son, so rather than ask why $200 more, I paid him. Its been nothing but a run around, lie after lie, promise after promise until I called the State on him and get this, he encouraged me to call them. They called him and he lied to them. I have requested a refund already and thats not going to happen. I went to him in good faith...paid him an escalated price and git the run around. I've asked another cemetery to step in ro finish rhis and my brother's. He advised they had to go through him. I felt sick. I wonder if he's having some serious problems. I read a review from. a lady that said he did her the exact same way. Maybe he ront like women who pay him in cash and take his word the work will be completed in a couple weeks‼
