Mother’s Day can be filled with joy… but for many, it also carries a quiet ache.

Whether your mother passed recently or many years ago, this season often brings memories rushing in. The sound of her voice… the meals she cooked… the way she showed love without saying a word. It’s in these simple, tender moments that her legacy still lives on.

At Bennie Smith Funeral Home of Maryland, we know that grief doesn’t follow a calendar. And while Mother’s Day is a time to honor the women who raised us, it’s also a time to hold space for those still healing.

This May, we invite you to reflect, to remember, and to celebrate — even through tears. Light a candle. Share a story. Visit her resting place. Do something that would’ve made her smile. In your own way, keep her close.

And if you’re thinking about your own legacy… how you want to be remembered by your children or loved ones… consider taking that next step with preplanning. It’s a gift of clarity, love, and peace… the kind of gift every mother understands.

We’re here when you need us… to honor, to guide, and to walk with you through every season.

Bennie Smith Funeral Home

From humble beginnings on a farm in Faceville, Georgia, Bennie Smith became a respected businessman whose standards of compassion and excellence continue to guide our work today. Bennie Smith Funeral Home of Maryland is part of one of the largest African American–owned funeral service organizations on the East Coast. In Maryland, we serve families from multiple chapels across the Eastern Shore — including Salisbury, Easton, Princess Anne, and Chestertown — with dignified funerals, cremations, memorials, and preplanning. Since 1982, we have cared for generations of Maryland families with clarity, respect, and faith. More than 40 years later, our mission remains the same. We are here to honor every life well lived and to walk beside you, every step of the way.
