R Hayden Smith Funeral Home and Cremation Services

My family had an outstanding experience with a very detailed funeral. We used their Trust Account system to pre-pay for a funeral, paid for 20 yrs ago. Everything about the funeral, as stressed as I was, was continually made easier by the staff. We almost had several disasters due to my mistakes but the staff at RHS- caught everything in time and helped straighten it out. I sincerely cannot recommend them high enough. You want people you can trust when your loved one dies. These are the people!!!!

Jacob is the finest funeral director in all the land. An upfront, kind gentleman who does not try to upsell you or treat you like a payday, which can't be said for others in this business. Every single thing is intricately thought of, prepared for and brought to fruition by this man and his team. No one wants to think of the things we need to do when we go see a funeral home but they make it easier and definitely make you feel welcome. Also, ignore the bad review about their facility being "dated". This is not the case whatsoever, it is tastefully decorated and akin to something like a familiar family home or country club. Jacob and team, thank you.. sincerely. Your parents should be proud of such a fine man they have raised.

RHS is beyond a 5 star rating - consider it our family funeral home in Hampton VA. Exceptional considerate kindness in every detail for both of my parents burials - shout out to Jamie Karpa who navigated our family through many emotional times and believe her understanding of military burials and details for Arlington National Cemetery made us feel at ease during difficult times. Forever thankful for the compassion and quality!

Bob Smith and his family owned funeral home are the BEST! They’re very professional, organized and easy to work with! My beloved mother died in CA and they were able to help get her home and ready for her final resting place. Thanks to all who work there!

Professional, exceptional, compassionate service. We funeralized both of our parents at R. Hayden Smith and can highly recommend them for quality end of life care. From the first call, we were assured that our love ones were treated with dignity. The facility is beautiful and spacious and their lovely, traditional Chapel was more than adequate for Services. This long-standing family business rises to the call at the most stressful time. Our family was in Excellent Hands at R. Hayden Smith.
