J. Douglas Smart

Founder/Deceased June 3, 1941 - June 18, 2021

Doug grew up in Franklin, graduating from Franklin High School in 1960. He was one of six children and decided at a young age that he would like to pursue a career in funeral service. Not given the opportunity to work with a local funeral home Doug moved to Los Angeles, CA. He worked and lived at the Cunningham and O’Connor Mortuary in downtown Los Angeles from 1964 to 1968, with branches in Hollywood and Alhambra. After accumulating college tuition Doug enrolled in the California College of Mortuary Science, graduating in 1967 with honors. He finished his apprenticeship at the Mortuary, becoming a licensed embalmer. Doug returned to New Hampshire in 1968 and worked for several years with Arthur Simoneau at Simoneau and Son Memorial Home in Laconia. He later worked on and off in retail clothing. In 1977 Doug purchased a very visible piece of property on busy Route 3 in Tilton and established his funeral home in 1978.
