Milward Funeral Directors traces its origins to 1825, making it not only Lexington's oldest funeral home but the 37th oldest continuously operating business in the United States. The family-owned firm has served Central Kentucky families for nearly two centuries, with each generation building upon a tradition of community service and civic duty. Today, Milward operates three locations across Lexington: the original Downtown facility at 159 N Broadway, the Southland chapel at 391 Southland Drive, and the Man O' War location at 1509 Trent Boulevard. The business remains under family leadership, with Robert Emmet Milward Jr. and Robert Emmet Milward currently at the helm, continuing the legacy that began with founder Joseph Milward (1803-1883) and passed through Col. William Rice Milward, William Rice Milward Jr., and William Emmet Milward.
