The institution known as Smith Funeral Home is changing its name to reflect an ownership change. It is now Gentry-Smith Funeral Home. New owner Tim Gentry was hired in 2000 was hired as an embalmer and funeral director.
Mike Smith founded Smith Funeral Home in 1971 to offer compassionate service based on trust and support of the community’s families from a loving neighbor. In 1999, Mike’s father, Bill Smith, and Christine Dillon, joined him in a partnership to continue those traditions and moved Smith Funeral Home to its present location.
It is a tradition within the funeral industry for licensed partners’ names to be included. Therefore, the former Smith Funeral Home has been renamed Gentry-Smith Funeral Home. Tim Gentry gratefully and humbly acknowledges the opportunities and trust placed in him by the Smiths, and Miss Dillon, and the support and encouragement of numerous family and friends. Gentry says the compassionate support to families in the area remains unchanged because every life has a story.
