The history of our service to Delaware families begins a hundred years ago in 1906, when William E. Haines opened his funeral home in Wilmington. It was later purchased by John W. Spicer, and then merged with a funeral home owned by James Mullikin. For many years, we maintained three locations in Wilmington, New Castle (Wilmington Manor), and Delaware City. The Wilmington location was then sold, and we purchased a facility in Newark. The current owners, Harvey C. Smith, Jr. and Frank C. Mayer, Jr., continue the company's century-old tradition of compassionate, dignified service. The funeral service is an important observance that helps families and friends cope with and accept the loss of a loved one. It commemorates and honors the life that has been lived, allows people to gather and provide one another with emotional support, initiates the grieving process, and provides a necessary sense of closure. We are honored to assist our friends and neighbors during their time of loss.
