Our History

The original funeral home location was in Chadbourn, NC.  Inspired by the founder Rev. Alfred R. Smith Sr. D.D.; Smith Funeral Home, Inc. was incorporated in October of 1949. It was Rev. Smith’s dream to serve the people of Columbus county and surrounding counties, in addition to different cities in North Carolina and  surrounding states. As times changed he and his wife Mrs. Margaret S. Smith decided to move the business to Whiteville, NC.
