The University of Louisville,
Program of Archaeology is presently curating the
written records of the Louisville Crematory and Cemeteries, Incorporated. The
records are here because of a court order
issued on 14 February 2001. These include the burial records for Eastern,
Greenwood and Schardein Cemeteries. For a brief history of these three
cemeteries – click here.
If you are conducting
genealogical research in the records for these cemeteries are on microfilm and
are available from the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. These people
are also known as the Mormons. In Louisville, Kentucky, there are two sets of
microfilm available for your use. One set of microfilm is available at the
church genealogical library – 1000 Hurstbourne
Parkway. The telephone number is 502-426-8174. Another set of the microfilm is
available at The Filson Club, 1310 South Third Street. The telephone number is
502-636-0471. However, before you begin your search, please visit my page
suggesting how to use the microfilm.
If you wish to find the grave
of a family member – to have a headstone placed, to visit the grave or to have
your family member moved to another cemetery, please fill out the request
for information form and either email it or mail it to me.
If you have a family member
who cremains were placed in the columbarium at Eastern Cemetery (in the Chapel)
– click here
to see if they have been recovered and moved under the court order issued
28 July 2003. If the cremains are found in the attached list,
please email me for instructions
on how you can retrieve them.
If you have any questions,
please feel free to email me
