Knox Funeral Home Inc

Located at 325 Knox Street in Barbourville, Kentucky, Knox Funeral Home stands as a beacon of compassion and professionalism in the funeral service industry. Since its establishment on February 18, 1990, by Walter C. "Tub" Hopper and his sons Joe and David, Knox Funeral Home has provided unparalleled funeral services to families in the community.

As the sole licensed funeral directors and embalmers who fully own and operate a family funeral home in Barbourville, Knox Funeral Home takes immense pride in offering personal, high-quality services at affordable prices. This commitment to excellence has allowed us to become an integral part of the community, serving Knox County families with compassion and respect during their most difficult times.

Following the passing of Tub on September 22, 2009, the youngest son, Joe Hopper, has gracefully continued the legacy of Knox Funeral Home. Under his guidance, the funeral home has upheld its reputation as a trusted and compassionate provider of funeral services, ensuring that families receive the utmost care and support.

In recent years, the choice of cremation has gained popularity across the United States. However, Kentucky still maintains a relatively low cremation rate, with only 11.11% of deceased individuals being cremated in 2004. Knox Funeral Home understands the significance of this choice and is equipped to handle all aspects of cremation and memorialization, offering families the opportunity to honor their loved ones in a unique and personal way.

For nearly a century, traditional funeral services have involved a visitation at a funeral home, followed by a memorial service at a funeral home chapel or religious sanctuary, culminating in a graveside service. At Knox Funeral Home, we have the expertise and experience to meticulously coordinate these events, ensuring that every detail is handled with the utmost care.

Planning a funeral during a time of profound loss and grief can be overwhelming. Recognizing this, we firmly believe in the importance of advance planning. By making decisions ahead of time, families can alleviate the burden of difficult choices and provide a clear roadmap for their loved ones to follow. Our dedicated staff is here to guide families through the process, offering support and understanding every step of the way.

At Knox Funeral Home, we understand the weight of our responsibility in honoring the lives of those who have passed. With our team of compassionate professionals and unwavering commitment to excellence, we strive to provide comfort and solace to grieving families. As a family-owned and operated funeral home, we consider it a privilege to serve the people of Barbourville and beyond.
