About Arch L. Heady and Son - Cralle Funeral Home and Cremation Services
Arch L. Heady and Son - Cralle Funeral Home has served the Louisville community for decades, though it is currently owned by Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the United States — something families who prefer independent or family-owned businesses may want to factor into their decision. The funeral home offers full-service burial and cremation options, and reviewers note that staff guide families carefully through each step of the process, including coordination with churches and cemeteries. Pricing information was not available for this summary, so families are encouraged to request a General Price List directly from the funeral home, which they are legally required to provide. On Google, the funeral home holds a 4.9-star rating across 51 reviews, with customers consistently praising individual staff members by name for their professionalism, compassion, and attentiveness — including during sensitive situations like holiday-period delays with death certificates.
