Smyth C R & Son

For over 90 years, CR Smyth & Son Funeral Services has been providing compassionate and personalised care to families in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and the Hunter Valley. Our business is proudly owned and operated by the Smyth family, who have been serving the community since 1925. As locals, we understand the importance of celebrating a life worth remembering and the value of bringing together extended families, lifelong friends, and sometimes an entire community to remember a special person.

At CR Smyth & Son, we take the time to focus on the individuals in a family and ensure that the funeral service represents your loved one's life and values. We provide completely personalised funeral services that include the elements that are most important to your loved one and your family. Our family is available to support your family, 24 hours a day, offering a funeral director on call for when you need us.

Planning a Funeral

We understand that planning a funeral can be a difficult process. Our team is here to support you every step of the way so that nothing is forgotten. We offer guidance in arranging a funeral that will bring your most cherished memories to the surface. Our personalised approach ensures that the funeral service is a celebration of your loved one's life.

Arranging a Prepaid Funeral

When you arrange a prepaid funeral, all of the financial decisions are made in advance. Your family won't need to worry about arranging finance and making difficult choices in their time of grief.

Planning Ahead Funerals

Planning ahead for your funeral can help ease the burden on your family and friends. At CR Smyth & Son, we have a printable Funeral Plan document that will help you communicate your wishes to your loved ones. You can record all your chosen details about the funeral service, and your burial or cremation wishes. You can include your favourite memories, stories, songs, and readings. Recording your wishes in the Funeral Plan document will ensure that your family has the confidence that everything is as you wanted, without stress or worry.

Death can be difficult to discuss with your loved ones. If you don't want to worry them, CR Smyth & Son can help. You can download the My Funeral Plan document or call our office on (02) 4990 1425.
