Located just minutes South of Louisville in historic downtown Shepherdsville, Kentucky. Hardy-Close Funeral Home is a family-owned and operated company. First established in 1929 as Hardy Funeral Home, Harold Hardy and J. B. Close became partners and established Hardy-Close Funeral Home in 1981. They were both outstanding funeral directors and community men.
They were always available with a helping hand. Just before J.B died, he sold the funeral home to Tim Scharrer. In a short period of time, the funeral home went downhill and soon it was for sale again. Renovations resulted in new furnishing, a new arrangement room, a new chapel with solid wooden pews, a new fleet of cars, and even a 10-cent coke machine that people love.

Plan Ahead
Report
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Why Plan Ahead
Report
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
