Arkansas Cremation

Arkansas Cremation is a trusted provider of professional cremation and funeral services, operating as a specialized division of the esteemed Smith Family Funeral Homes. Conveniently located at 322 North Market Street in Benton, Arkansas, Arkansas Cremation serves families throughout Saline County and the greater Central Arkansas region with compassion, dignity, and personalized care. As part of the Smith Family Funeral Homes network—a family-owned and operated organization that has proudly served Arkansas communities since 1955—Arkansas Cremation benefits from decades of experience and a deep commitment to honoring the lives of loved ones.

Smith Family Funeral Homes began its legacy of service in 1955, growing over the years to encompass nine locations across Central Arkansas, including facilities in North Little Rock, Little Rock, Conway, Hot Springs, Sherwood, Arkadelphia, Glenwood, and Beebe. In 2012, the firm partnered with an established Benton funeral home to form Smith-Benton Funeral Home, bringing the resources and expertise of one of the state’s largest and longest-standing funeral establishments to the Benton community. Arkansas Cremation, listed as a separate entity at the same Benton address, focuses exclusively on cremation services while drawing on the full support of the Smith network.

One of the key distinctions of Arkansas Cremation is its direct control over the cremation process. Unlike many other funeral homes in Saline County that outsource cremations to third-party commercial crematories, Arkansas Cremation utilizes a state-of-the-art cremation center located at the Smith-North Little Rock facility. This oversight ensures that every cremation is handled with the highest standards of care, respect, and transparency, giving families peace of mind during a difficult time.

Arkansas Cremation offers a comprehensive range of services, including direct cremation, cremation with memorial services, traditional burial services, and pre-planning options through prepayment plans. The facility is designed to accommodate families with wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, and it accepts various payment methods, including credit cards, cash, and checks. Additionally, the Smith family’s aftercare program and grief support resources are available to help families navigate their loss. With a strong Google Maps rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 66 reviews, Arkansas Cremation and Smith Benton Funeral Home have earned a reputation for excellence in the community. Whether assisting with immediate needs or helping families plan ahead, Arkansas Cremation remains dedicated to providing meaningful, affordable, and compassionate end-of-life care.
