Services
The St. Matthews location has undergone significant modernization while maintaining its 1951 character. The 2001 renovation expanded functionality with a new lounge, additional visitation room, and enhanced restroom facilities. Recent redecorating has refreshed interior spaces, and front porch renovations are currently underway. The facility positions itself as a 'second home' environment designed for peace, comfort, and warmth.
Pearson emphasizes transparent communication with upfront pricing and step-by-step guidance through every decision.
Pearson Funeral Home stands as Louisville's longest-serving funeral establishment, with a lineage stretching back to 1847. The family dynasty produced industry pioneers: Edward C. Pearson held Kentucky's first embalmer's license and designed the original wood-paneled hearse, later adapting it to become Louisville's first motor-driven funeral vehicle in the early automotive era.
The current Breckenridge Lane location in St. Matthews has served as the firm's anchor since 1951, just one year after the city's incorporation. After the Pearson family sold their original Third Street home in 1978, this became the company's headquarters. A significant 2001 renovation added a new lounge, visitation room, additional restrooms, and improved parking to the 50-year-old facility.
In 2011, the Pearson era concluded when Larry Robbins, John Keith, and Roy Keith Jr. purchased the business. Robbins brought nearly four decades of funeral industry experience, while the Keiths arrived from their established memorial and monument background known for quality craftsmanship and personalization. Recent updates include redecorated visitation rooms and ongoing front porch renovations.
Pearson's came highly recommended by many friends in Louisville for my uncle's funeral and I continue to be deeply moved by how thoughtful and caring the staff and team are there. We have also received really sweet messages in the year since he's passed. Thank you Pearson for mak...
Brittany was wonderful in every way. She offered so much insight and guidance through my families loss, I couldn’t ask for a better person to help us through this. The team has followed up with us to ensure we were all doing well truly showing care
Our family felt deeply supported and cared about during the services and arrangements for our family member. Pearson’s staff did a really great job. We are very grateful for their guidance and help.
Charging $400 to cremate a small fetus should be a crime. Hope it feels good to try to make money off sad parents. Real capitalists at this funeral home. Go elsewhere.
Staff are competent, efficient, professional, helpful, supportive and caring. They make the arrangements and experience worry and stress free. I highly recommend Pearson's Funeral Home.
