About Evan W. Smith Funeral Services

Evan W. Smith Funeral Services is an independently owned funeral home serving the Wilmington, Delaware area. As a full-service provider, they offer a range of arrangements including cremation and burial services, and their direct cremation starting price of $1,495 is generally considered competitive within the local market. On Google, they hold a 4.8-star rating across 36 reviews, which reflects strong customer satisfaction, though the relatively modest review volume means there is a limited basis for identifying consistent patterns in praise or concern. Families seeking a locally owned alternative to larger corporate providers may find this a comfortable fit, and reaching out directly for a full price list is recommended before making any decisions.
