WELCOME TO

Smith & Kernke Funeral Homes & Crematory


It is the little things that make the difference.

Smith & Kernke is Oklahoma City's oldest family operated funeral home, and that record of successful service says a great deal about the philosophy and character of an organization. This is a business where "family owned" has special significance.


Many are not aware that in recent years large corporations acquired countless funeral homes in almost every community. This has occurred in other industries as well, including banks, hospitals, car dealers, grocery stores, and insurance companies to name a few. But in other industries, the new owners are quick to publicize the purchase to inform their customers of the additional benefits derived from the transaction.


This is not so with funeral homes. When a large company buys a funeral home, employees may change, prices often escalate, and the entire nature of the operation may be transformed overnight including their procedures and outsourcing of services. But because it appears the same, sometimes keeping the name and even employing the former owner, you'd never know about the change in ownership – and policies.


When you support a local business, you support the local economic growth, charitable institutions, and overall welfare of your community.


At Smith & Kernke the ethics, values, and standards that have built the company's reputation for over 80 years are still in place and controlled by the Kernke family. We offer funeral home and cremation services with two locations in Oklahoma City, OK.

Contact us today! We are here to serve you.


Sincerely,

Smith & Kernke Funeral Home
