Chism-Smith Funeral Home And Cremation Service

Chism-Smith Funeral Home and Cremation Service, located at 403 South Britian Road in Irving, Texas, stands as a beacon of compassionate, family-centered care in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. As the oldest funeral home in Irving, it has served the community for generations, blending time-honored traditions with personalized, modern services. The business is proudly family owned and operated, and identifies as women-owned, reflecting a deep commitment to inclusive, empathetic service.

In December 2000, licensed funeral directors and embalmers David and Carla Davis purchased the funeral home from a corporation, revitalizing it with a hands-on, family-first approach. Carla Davis, along with their daughter Heather Moffat—who earned her license from the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service in 2009—joined the team in 2004, ensuring a seamless continuation of genuine care. The funeral home has since relocated to a newly expanded facility down the road at its current address, offering a welcoming, wheelchair-accessible space that includes a chapel, arrangement offices, and showroom. The facility’s recent remodel has been praised by families for its beautiful, comforting atmosphere.

Chism-Smith offers a comprehensive range of services designed to honor each unique life, including traditional funeral services, cremation services, veterans’ services, and even pet funeral services. They provide burial and cremation services, with financial assistance available to ease the burden during difficult times. The staff is available 24/7, answering phones directly—no answering service—so families always reach a caring team member. They also offer online pre-planning forms and at-need arrangements, as well as package pricing for transparency. The funeral home is committed to helping families plan ahead through pre-need contracts, with guidance on trust and insurance funding options in compliance with Texas state law.

Community feedback consistently highlights the extraordinary compassion and professionalism of Carla, Heather, and David. Families describe them as “angels” who go above and beyond, from attending to personal requests like hair care to orchestrating beautiful, heartfelt services. The funeral home holds a 4.5-star rating on Google and a 4.8-star rating on Legacy.com, with reviews praising their reasonable, straightforward pricing and high-quality, respectful service. Many clients return for multiple family needs, a testament to the trust and loyalty they inspire.

Chism-Smith Funeral Home also provides ongoing grief support, offering a year of weekly grief messages to strengthen and comfort families. Their location in Irving’s historic district, combined with ample on-site parking, makes them accessible and convenient. Whether arranging a traditional funeral, a cremation, or a memorial service, the team at Chism-Smith treats every family like their own, ensuring a memorable and comforting experience during life’s most challenging times.
