Smith Funeral Chapel

Smith Funeral Chapel & Eau Claire Memorial Crematory, located at 2222 London Road in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, has been a pillar of compassionate care for families since its founding in 1956 by William and Agnes Smith. Now operated by the third generation of the Smith family, the funeral home has grown from a simple commitment to dignity and personal attention into one of the area's most trusted funeral service providers.

A grand fireplace in the main room, a side meeting area, and a quiet, soundproof luncheon room overlooking Hastings Way provide spaces for gathering, reflection, and support. The funeral home also offers wheelchair accessible entrances, parking, restrooms, and seating, ensuring all families feel welcome.
