apprenticeship with Arch L. Heady Funeral Home in Louisville. Josephine’s family operated a Bakery in the Germantown

Army, Junie rejoined the family business. He earned licenses in Embalming, Funeral Directing and Barbering. He married Carolyn
Masterson of New Haven, KY in 1958. They have six children and 15

He works with Junie and Carolyn to continue the family tradition of providing service with dignity and compassion. He and
his wife Cyndi have two sons, Alex & Joseph.
The Funeral Home
The land of the funeral home was previously owned by the Archdiocese of Louisville and was once considered as a possible site
for the St. Francis of Assisi Church. Mr. Leonard Wright acquired the land and built the home in 1913. It was purchased
by the Mattingly family in 1933.

Home visitations were popular in 1933 so large facilities were not necessary. As the trend toward funeral home visitations
grew, the funeral home was enlarged to accommodate. A major addition was completed in the mid 50’s which included a
larger parlor, preparation room, ramp entrance and indoor restroom facilities. In the 60’s as business grew another
parlor was added.
The most recent addition was completed in 1995. It consists of a large modern chapel, coffee lounge, restrooms and paved
parking lot. The funeral home facility is beautifully decorated and provides a warm home-like atmosphere.
