History
Edward Williamson operated a cabinetmaking, carpentry and undertaking business as early as 1877. By 1900, his son Edgar W. Williamson ran the business, which served a community of about 1,300 people. In 1938, Wilbert J. Smith purchased the business when it was located immediately south of the Coronation Hotel on Brant Street. Wilbert had served 10 years in his uncle's funeral business in Chatham, and was assisted by his sister Jeanette, who was also a licensed funeral director. In 1942, the funeral home was moved to its present location at 485 Brant Street, and numerous renovations have taken place over the years. On January 15, 1996, a second location was opened at 1167 Guelph Line, Burlington, one stop light north of the QEW. The newest and largest location features 14,000 square feet of design and décor that are more contemporary, and the facility is large enough to accommodate hundreds of guests.
