Smith’s Funeral Home is Burlington’s oldest and leading funeral home. The family-owned and operated business has provided personalized and valued service for more than a century. The Smith family purchased the business from Edward Williamson in 1938, and now has a dedicated staff of over 50 caring professionals. Where We Began: Edward Williamson operated a cabinetmaking, carpentry and undertaking business as early as 1877. By 1900, his son Edgar W. Williamson ran the business, which served a community of about 1,300 people. In 1938, Wilbert J. Smith purchased the business when it was located immediately south of the Coronation Hotel on Brant Street. Wilbert had served 10 years in his uncle’s funeral business in Chatham, and was assisted by his sister Jeanette, who was also a licensed funeral director. In 1942, the funeral home was moved to its present location at 485 Brant Street, following his marriage to Kathleen (Kay) Little, although Wilbert continued to operate the Smith Furniture and Electrical store at the old location until it was closed in 1956 in order to focus all his efforts on helping families who had experienced a death in the family. As the firm expanded, other members of the family joined the staff, including Wilbert’s brother Stanley D. Smith in 1948 and Wilbert’s sons, Donald S. Smith in 1966 and Douglas R. Smith in 1980. Wilbert, who served in the honourary role of chairman, died March 23, 1995 and Don became president and sole owner of the company.
