David Smith moved to Maldon from Witham in 1890 and set up a cabinet making business in Beeleigh Road. It was his son Arthur George Smith who continued the family tradition after his father’s death in 1908.
Arthur George Smith set up business as a builder and undertaker at 17 Spital Road in 1912. The business flourished and was moved to a larger house at 14 Spital Road and finally the short trip across Spital Road to our present premises at No. 7 un the 1940’s. Arthur George died in 1946 and is buried with his wife and eldest son in Maldon Cemetry. His younger son, Arthur William continued with the business until his own death in 1952.
Families from Maldon and the outlying villages of Dengie peninsular have trusted the care of their loved ones to A.G Smith for over 100 years and we are proud of the fact that we are one of the oldest business in Maldon.
The company is still run by local people providing 24 hour care to the local community. In year 2000 we opened our sister branch at Hallmark House, 44 Station Road, Southminster.
