The death of a loved one is always a difficult time. This past weekend, a family member passed away…read moreand when we knew their wishes were for cremation services, we called Care Cremation. From the very first telephone call, you were speaking with compassionate, caring people who do everything with the highest care, dignity, and professionalism. Because their crematory is on site, they can offer many cremation and burial options that are affordable for everyone When we met with Mr. Noon at their office, he was patient and understanding. He took the time to newer all of our questions and provided helpful suggestions and great wisdom. The entire process was very smooth and no sales pressure at all. Very affordable pricing options. If desired, they have a wide range of service and remembrance options from funeral service options to scattering options. I remembered Care Cremation from a friend who used their services years ago and have no reservations in recommending them 100%.

Smith and Smith Funeral Home provided EXCEPTIONAL service to my family recently when a loved one…read morepassed away unexpectedly. In particular, Omer Cowherd, who I believe is the manager, went above and beyond the call of duty. He was sympathetic to our loss without being patronizing or cliched. He listened to what we wanted and worked with us to stay within our budget. He was extremely available and responsive to all our queries and promptly provided answers to all our questions and solutions to any issues. He helped us obtain the death certificate and report the loss to the appropriate government officials. This may be a standard offering with all the funeral homes, I'm not sure, but it sure did seem like a value add at the time as we were somewhat overwhelmed by all the things we thought we had to take care of. Mr. Cowherd was very professional but also came across as very personal. He seemed very genuine and sincere. The quality of his work was above reproach and our loved one appeared very natural as if he were sleeping peacefully. I wish this site had more stars to express how highly I would recommend this establishment and Mr. Cowherd. He surely deserves at least 10 stars!!!

They were able to make me several ceramic paw print keep sakes as well as an ink paw print I plan to make into a tattoo. Know also that if you call ahead of time they'll make special arrangements for you if you want. My sister used them years ago and also had a good experience. My urn and my dogs nameplate are very high quality

This place is terrible. Our son died unexpectedly, and we chose this service based on the reviews…read moreand price. Our son was cremated in February 2022. In the beginning, everything went well. The problems arose when we went to pick up our son. We had an appointment, and the person did not show up until 1 hour later. Today is June 9, 2022, and we have yet to receive our son's death certificate. I had to purchase one from the state of Kentucky because we had to settle his affairs. The most important being monthly benefits for our son's 3-year-old daughter through Social Security. I have contacted Layken and have not received a response. After talking to the deputy coroner, she informed me that others had had the same problem. As soon as I can find the correct person to report this business to, besides the Better Business Bureau, I will report this business. Very disappointed and do not recommend this business. I wish I had gone to Care Cremation and paid the extra $200. When something is unexpected, not everyone has tons of money lying around. The price was the only reason we chose this place. We should not have had to wait for our son's ashes. We are devastated at our son's loss, adding more pain to what we were and are experiencing.

We stopped by while in the city for a quick visit to good old Ernest, Jim Varney. Finding his grave…read morewas easy enough, and if we'd had more time before they were going to close the gates for the night, I'd have liked to walk around and explore. It is lovely along the lines of Cave Hill in Louisville. But it was getting late and we had to go. Which proved more difficult that necessary. Unless we wanted to ignore one-way road signs in the cemetery... Google maps took me to roads that didn't exist, gates that had been removed completely and walled up...and we had an adventure just trying to exit the cemetery. But if you've got the time, and inclination...it is gorgeous here with some notable folks' graves to visit.

Most interesting to me were the many graves of those long forgotten who worked in Lexington's thoroughbred racing industry in its infancy -- famous jockeys (including Oliver Lewis, the first winner of the Kentucky Derby on Aristedes, and Isaac Murphy who was later reinterred at the Kentucky Horse Park), trainers and "hostlers", an old tem used to describe grooms and other handlers. Large signs have been posted to indicate these grave sites. According to the guide, the gates are always open and even dogs are permitted (as long as you clean up after them).
