Gerald A. Smith graduated from the Canadian School of Embalming in 1938. They founded our funeral home in 1945 in a home purchased from Warren F. Hendershot. The original owner and presumed builder, Gordon Ferriss built the home in the late 1890's. The home was remodeled into a funeral home and established Essex County's first 24 hour ambulance service outside the City of Windsor.
Staff members of Gerald A Smith Funeral Home are caring and experienced professionals who understand that each family is unique and has personal requests and traditions. These requests and traditions are of utmost importance to all our staff. Our dedicated and supportive staff are here to guide you through this difficult journey.
At Gerald A. Smith Funeral Home we like to offer an opportunity for you to ask us any questions that you may have about funerals, funeral planning or a current / past service that we provided. Your questions will remain confidential and we will only contact you by your preferred method. You may also feel free to contact us directly, in person or by phone, any time of the day.
No matter if a death is sudden, or if it something that was a long time coming, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed. No amount of preparation can fully prepare you for the loss of a loved one. When you are in a heightened emotional state, even the most basic decisions can seem staggering.

I have been so incredibly impressed with the compassionate, extraordinary service extended to me by Michael and Hope at Gerald A Smith Funeral Home, after the passing of my dad recently. They have been responsive on a daily, and sometimes, on an hourly basis, and helped me with every single detail during an emotionally difficult time. I recommend them most highly! Thank you.
