History

Established in 1892.

In 1892, three brothers owned and operated Schoppenhorst Bros. Laundry and Linen Service in Louisville’s West End. One of the Brothers, Edward was interested in the «Undertaking» business and branched out to start the funeral home. The other brothers remained in the laundry business.

Schoppenhorst Bros. Funeral Home was successful mainly because Edward and his wife, Flora, were caring people, their service was exceptional. The Schoppenhorst’s were Dutch, very clean people whose funeral home was spotless. Their business was very successful doing services across Louisville.

In 1865 a beautfiul home, built by Captain Kawein, an Ohio river boat Captain; later this same building was occupid by the funeral home on West Market Street. It featured a cut glass front door made in France and shipped to Louisville. The door actually had a piece of glass from every country in Europe and pieced into a lovely design.
