3800 Bardstown Rd, Louisville, KY 40218
Services
The funeral home operates three distinct facilities across Louisville and Jeffersontown. The original location at 3800 Bardstown Road serves as the flagship. The Preston Highway location operates as Ratterman Embry Bosse Funeral Home, suggesting a merged or acquired business. The Jeffersontown location extends service to the eastern suburbs. Each facility maintains independent contact information and appears to serve its immediate geographic area.
Ratterman & Sons structures their services around personalization, with staff working closely with families to design ceremonies reflecting individual preferences rather than selecting from preset packages.
Ratterman & Sons Funeral and Cremation Care traces its origins to 1864, making it one of Louisville's longest continuously operating funeral homes. The business has expanded from its original location to three distinct facilities serving different parts of the metro area: the flagship location at 3800 Bardstown Road, Ratterman Embry Bosse Funeral Home at 2723 Preston Highway, and a Jeffersontown location at 10600 Taylorsville Road.
The funeral home emphasizes personalized ceremonies tailored to individual family needs. Their approach centers on crafting tributes that reflect each person's unique life journey rather than offering standardized packages. This philosophy extends across all three locations, which maintain separate phone lines and staff teams while operating under unified management.
Customer testimonials highlight specific operational strengths: staff members who direct traffic at cemeteries, seamless coordination with out-of-state funeral homes for transport, and large lounge areas accommodating food and drinks for post-service gatherings.
