About

Arch L. Heady at Resthaven and Resthaven Memorial Park have been supporting the people of Louisville for generations. The funeral home is conveniently located southeast of downtown Louisville. We happily serve people of all cultures, backgrounds and faiths. Together, the funeral home and cemetery allow people to handle all their choices around funeral, cremation and burial services.

Timeless and traditional Louisville funeral home

Chapel at Arch L. Heady at Resthaven Our elegant funeral home was built in 1991. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed here.

Timeless decor, including calming and cool colors, tall ceilings and Southern flare, surround you. A large fountain with bench seating in front of the funeral home provides an outdoor space to sit and reflect.

With pew seating for 150 guests, high ceilings and a large altar, our chapel is very traditional. We have a beautiful, large lobby directly outside the chapel, which is often used by families for serving refreshments, providing additional seating or displaying personal mementos.

We have 3 visitation rooms: Farmington, Breckinridge and Heritage. All of these spaces are similar in size, offering a warm environment, nice lighting and updated technology for family videos, music or slideshows. All 3 rooms comfortably accommodate 50-60 people and have direct access to a family lounge/coffee area.

The Celebration Room

The Celebration Room is a newly renovated space for memorial services, visitations or catered receptions. This room features warmer tones, photos of Louisville attractions and an updated sound system.

It also has a 55-inch television for picture and video slideshows. For those interested in hosting an event with cocktails, we can arrange for a bartender to serve your guests at the large wooden bar. We also have full catering capabilities. We are glad to coordinate anything from a breakfast buffet to a complete sit-down dinner.

Personalized funeral services

All of our services are designed to help you through one of the more personal and challenging stages of life. We understand that losing a loved one is an emotional and difficult experience, and we are committed to providing compassionate, professional and personal care.

Over the years, we have designed some very touching celebration of life ceremonies. For instance, when coordinating the funeral details for a gentleman who was an avid traveler, we set up a room with a beach and cruise ship theme. We've also created a beautiful garden in a visitation room for a woman who loved English gardens.

From dove, butterfly and balloon releases to arranging for a horse-drawn carriage from a nearby farm, it is our promise to work with you to create a funeral or memorial service as unique as your loved one.

Let us serve you

Please contact us if you need immediate assistance, wish to tour our facility or want to discuss planning a funeral ahead of time. Our location is easily accessible from the Watterson Expressway.

Resthaven Memorial Park

Cemetery grounds with headstones and a flat marker under a tree at Resthaven Memorial Park. Established in 1926, Resthaven Memorial Park has been a peaceful final resting place for generations of Louisville families. Spanning 125 acres, we are a perpetual care cemetery with red brick pathways, well-manicured lawns and a variety of burial options.

We offer traditional in-ground burials, above-ground estates, build-to-suit and customizable options, private gated areas, bench estates, mausoleum crypts, stonewall cremation niches, granite memorials, boulder memorialization, cremation gardens and more. Our mission is to provide the personalized memorialization that people desire and deserve, so we strive to provide a diverse variety of choices.

Kentucky Heritage Garden

The newest section of Resthaven Memorial Park is the unique Kentucky Heritage Garden. A beautiful tribute to the traditions of bluegrass, this area features a tranquil setting designed for peaceful reflection. Close up view of a horse statue at Resthaven Memorial Park.

Located toward the front of the cemetery property, this garden honors the rich horse-racing tradition of the region. Strolling down the promenade toward the classic Kentucky Heritage Pavilion is like passing through decades of Kentucky thoroughbred tradition. You’ll notice polished marble markers displaying the names of the most revered people in horse racing.

Pavilion with a brick walkway around it at Resthaven Memorial Park. The pavilion is a peaceful, open-air setting for family gatherings and services. The centerpiece of Kentucky Heritage Garden is a large metal statue of a thoroughbred in midstride, mane flowing and muscles straining toward a prize. Four cremation benches are found near this wonderful sculpture.

The garden features both traditional flat markers and raised monument sites. A tiered stonewall creates a sweeping arc behind the pavilion, cradling a row of private paddock estates and monuments. Between the paddock estates and the pavilion, pillow monument lots lie neatly in rows.

Other Kentucky Heritage Garden memorialization options include hedged estates, 8 polished marble benches (2 on each side of the pavilion) and 6 build-to-suit sites at the front corners of the garden.

Visit the cemetery

Throughout our history, we have served families by minding even the smallest of details, extending every possible courtesy and creating a serene final resting place for those in and around Louisville. We invite you to visit Resthaven Memorial Park anytime. Please contact us if you wish to take a guided tour and we will be happy to assist you.

Community events

We invite you to join us for community events throughout the year.

Special landscaping feature of a horse statue and a pavilion in the background at Resthaven Memorial Park. For Mother’s Day, we distribute pies to families visiting our property. We also host a weekend tribute during the Memorial Day weekend, placing flags throughout the property.

During the holiday season, we invite the public to attend our holiday candlelight memorial service. This non-denominational evening service is held inside the funeral home. It's led by our celebrant and a local minister, and includes live music as well as ornament gifts for all guests.

Public Servants Program

Arch L. Heady at Resthaven is a funeral home that participates in the Dignity Memorial® Public Servants Program. This program recognizes the courage and selflessness of public servants by offering dignified and honorable tributes, at no cost, for career and volunteer law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency services personnel who die in the line of duty. It's our way of showing appreciation for their ultimate sacrifice.

Verified Customer Reviews

Since 2005, many of our customers have taken the time to tell us how we did each year via our Voice of the Customer program. Our star ratings and comments from families come directly from these surveys.

"The entire team of Arch L. Heady at Resthaven was professional, top notch and compassionate with a high level of attention to detail. They made a most difficult time bearable. I didn't have to worried about a thing!!!"

February 2021

"I had several concerns following the funeral. I mentioned them to Jasmine and she was very apologetic. Mom's hair was not colored or styled correctly, despite me having provided photographs. Someone did call me and said they were having trouble lightening her hair and I gave them permission to buy additional products to help with that process. Still, her hair was brown, when it should have been blonde. She didn't look like herself. Also, her lipstick only colored part of her upper lip and it changed her overall appearance. Her entire upper lip should have been filled in. Thirdly, only 2 of the 4 songs I chose were the correct versions. I chose the songs from YouTube, not knowing that you guys don't use that medium. Had I known, I would have chosen songs from an approved source. I was not happy at all with the substituted versions. I was quite upset with the aforementioned issues, and there was no way to correct them. However, your staff and facilities were exceptional."
