“When Dad passed, I chose Frank E. Smith. We were impressed that’s why I’m writing this. I called around and I didn’t want a private equity corporate type funeral place where they truck your loved one off somewhere to be cremated and you never really know what’s going on. I wanted it local folks who actually care. They got my trust. So we went with Frank E. Smith Funeral Home in Lancaster. They’ve been family-owned here in our area for generations, and it shows in how they treat people. One big thing that mattered to me is they got their own crematory right there. That meant Dad never had to be sent away somewhere else. I’ve heard too many stories. With Smith’s, everything stayed here, handled by the same hands. They were quick, kind, and straight shooters about what needed done no pressure no sales pitch. Just good honest people helping us through a tough time. They even pulled together a really nice funeral service and viewing before the cremation happened. Somehow we got our whole crazy family and friends in one place and we were worried as every family has it’s tensions but it brought us all together and it went great and we were able to hear some funny stories I never heard and we all saw dad one last time. It was a good day and Dad would have loved it. He used to joke about wanting to be (thrown over a hill) but I think deep down, he would’ve loved the way we all came together for his funeral. (I was also able to just drop off his clothes at their Johnson-Smith location in Baltimore as it was closer to me from work which was nice) Now, I’ll be honest I helped my sister use a different place before and we will not be back. You get what you pay for, and with the Smith family, you get hometown good care. If you want things right, by local people who actually give something about our area and families, go with Frank E. Smith Funeral Home or their place Johnson-Smith funeral home in Baltimore. They’ll take good care of you and they are the same folks, they just meet you there or here. Thanks -Mick”
