If you are not sure of who to notify or what to do, you should call Smith Funeral Home Moulton at 1-361-596-4631 any time and we will assist you in notifying the proper agencies and planning your loved one's memorial service.We will be by your side throughout the entire process and far beyond.

There are several questions that you may have in regards to the death of your loved one, such as, "do I have to have embalming?", "do I need to purchase a casket?", "what about cemetery arrangements?", "does the family have a minister?", "do we want cremation, visitation, ...?" Our experienced funeral directors will be able to help answer all your questions.

There are a variety of questions that you will be asked to answer as well. The answers to these questions will be used to complete all of the required documents, forms and permits. Information about the deceased, such as full legal name, date of birth, place of birth, social security number, usual occupation, legal address, years of education, father's name, and mother's maiden name will be needed.

At this time information for the obituary is usually obtained. Items such as date and place of marriage, how long the person had lived in the area, educational degrees, their employment history, member of any clubs or organizations, hobbies and survivors are needed on an obituary.

The funeral director will discuss your preferences for the funeral time and location and who you would like to have officiate at the service, musical selections, organist, vocalist, pallbearers and the cemetery you will be using for interment.

One of the best ways to make sure that all of your questions and desires are taken care of is to make pre-arrangements. This is as simple as outlining your wishes to having all of the details written down and the financial arrangements prepaid. Please contact one of our staff to learn more or visit our page Pre-Planning.

'Jackie was kind and patient with us as we made arrangements. She was a big help and provided all information and made suggestions. Really appreciate her. Roberta was very comforting and felt connected because she knew my mother and grandparents from Moulton. That was special. We wanted something special for our mother and the whole staff made it h

appen with a song. Brian was also equally wonderful and he handled my mess up of forgetting to write a graveside service. He discreetly made a suggestion. I have only had one issue with smith funeral home but that was 18 yrs ago at my fathers funeral. Im truly grateful for the entire staff for my mother's funeral and everything went perfectly. I truly cannot thank them enough for their perfect execution of the entire event. May God always bless them all.'
