She was a beautiful alert lady who lived to be 101. When her family told us about the arrangements for her service we were surprised to hear they were going to have a "drive-by" service. We had no idea what to expect as were drove in the parking lot and saw a short line off cars going past the front of the building with the family all standing outside. As we approached the family greeted us, all wearing masks and social distancing. They opened two large glass doors for us to get a clear view of the open casket. We exchanged words with the family and then drove off. It was clearly one of the most unusual services we've ever attended and certainly not like any previous ones we've attended.

I'm real big on finishing hidden gems and quirky attractions. Especially in my hometown here if…read moreLouisville. Little did I know that this particular one I've probably passed up well over 50 times in my life and had no idea. This family burial plot from the 1850's is surrounded by a bush in the middle of a shopping center parking lot right where the department store shaheens is. Located off Dutchmans lane and Breckinridge in the st Mathews area of Louisville Kentucky. Here is how hidden this place is. The hospitals across the street is where all 4 of my kids were born and where there pediatrician is. Shaheens is the only department store that sells the school uniforms that my daughters private school has. The other surrounding shops and food establishments around it I have visited on multiple occasions. So when I say I've passed this what I thought was just some parking lot landscape over 50 times it might actually be an undersell. The grave site itself has a tiny small entrance with an iron gate and inside it features 4 tall graves up front and small grace behind them that was unfortunately and tragically for an 8 month old. All the grace markers that I could make out is from the 1850's and every name I could read was "Burks". I'm not sure how or why this hidden cemetery came about. I assume that at one point before all this development in honestly one of the busiest sections of the entire city of Louisville this was farmland owned by the Burke's. But I am not sure. Heads up if you are looking for this there isn't a sign or a marker for it. My best advise would to be put the address for shaheens department store on Breckinridge lane and go to the back and look for the random square bushes in the parking lot. The entrance actually faces shaheens parking lot. When I arrived the iron gate was open. I'm honestly not sure if it is normally locked or shut. I imagine there is some sort of hours to it although I'm not sure who maintains it. Someone must though as it Is well taken care of and the graves had fresh flowers an decorations.

I looked on line and used Google Earth so I had a general idea of what to expect. The area was owned by the Burks Family as a horse farm. When the property was sold and developed the developers have built the area up into parking and businesses. They have cared for rhe cemetery instead of moving it, and I commend them on that decision. There are five people buried there.   "Located at the corner of Breckinridge Lane & Dutchman's Lane on the C. C. Moore Farm.  Copied Sep 1986 - another listing states " on T. M.

We were told that the person who lived in a dementia unit had changed their plan. They did not want a funeral, obituary or a service. The ashes were given to a family member who took off with them so there can not even be a graveside burial service. This has been greatly distressing for the entire family. What can you say when people call and ask about the funeral and obituary that never happened? We have decided to go to a church and have a memorial service a month after her death at our own expense. The purpose of pre-paying for a funeral is to relieve your loved ones from trauma and distress.

After bad experiences and poor communication with two well-known "chain" funeral homes in town, a last-minute web search sent us to Fern Creek Funeral Home and although this was a first for me (having to help plan a visitation and memorial service) I can say that the staff went above and beyond to make the experience special. Gayle and Sarah were honest, tender and patient, plus they made themselves available and helped ease and absorb some stress from our grieving family. Additionally, the facility itself was clean, spacious and provided just what we needed as a space to honor the man we lost. It feels odd writing a review for a service that needed at such a messy time, but for that reason, I felt compelled to share that they were exceptional and came through for our family in need. I wish them well and hope they know how much it meant to me and my family.
