My dad passed away the week of Thanksgiving. We had family members in from Texas and Florida to see my dad before he passed away. John went above and beyond to make sure we could have my dad's funeral on the holiday weekend and not have to wait (Due to family members needing to return to their states). The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating during this difficult time. I highly recommend Louisville Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home East!

My Granny was my heart and soul. The staff at Louisville memorial east made her look so natural and beautiful. They were the sweetest group of people. They made two of the most heartbreaking days bearable. They made us feel like a part of their family as well. From a friendly smile, a comforting hug, or even some laughs with the staff. They helped us with anything they could including a ride for my great aunt to the gravesite because it was hard for her to walk. I would recommend this place time and time again. Thanks to the staff there that really made a difference.

My father passed away January 2018. His grave is nothing but weeds. I have talked to Tom (multiple times) and John (recently) and all they have done is throw grass seeds and straw on top of weeds and it looks terrible. I noticed a few other graves in worse conditions that probably dont have any one to oversee it. The roads and curbs are crumbling, yet they are building mini mausoleums. This is so disrespectful! Take care of your cemetery.
