Bowling Funeral Home

Bowling Funeral Home, located at 1704 North Main Street in London, Kentucky, has been a cornerstone of compassionate funeral service in Laurel County for over five decades. Established in 1965 as Bowling-Walker Funeral Home on Dixie Street, the business was originally a partnership. In 1971, Ed Bowling assumed full ownership and incorporated the funeral home, marking the beginning of a family legacy dedicated to serving the community with dignity and respect. The funeral home relocated to its present location in 1974, and a chapel with 200-seat capacity was added in 1984 to better accommodate families. A significant remodel in 1995 introduced a spacious lounge, providing a comfortable, homelike atmosphere where families can gather, visit, and find solace during their time of loss.

As London and Laurel County's only family-owned and operated funeral home, Bowling Funeral Home is owned and managed by Ed Bowling and his son, Doug Bowling. The staff brings a combined total of over 100 years of experience in funeral care, ensuring that every family receives the highest standard of service. The mission of Bowling Funeral Home is to serve families with respect, compassion, and integrity, offering quality funeral services at the lowest possible cost. The facility is wheelchair accessible with on-site parking, reflecting a commitment to accessibility and convenience for all visitors.

Bowling Funeral Home provides a comprehensive range of services to meet the diverse needs of the community. These include traditional funeral services, cremation options, pre-planning through the Life Choices program, veteran services with dedicated information, and grief support resources such as a grief library and bookstore. The funeral home also offers live streaming of services via YouTube, an e-guide for planning, and assistance with floral arrangements through local florists. Additionally, Doug Bowling Monuments provides memorialization options. A 24-hour obituary line (606-864-2323) ensures that families can access information at any time.

With a strong online presence, Bowling Funeral Home maintains an active website featuring recent obituaries, a contact form, and links to helpful resources. The funeral home’s Facebook page and YouTube channel further extend its reach, allowing the community to stay connected. Despite a temporary closure noted on Google Maps, the funeral home continues to serve families, as evidenced by recent obituaries and ongoing community engagement. Bowling Funeral Home remains a trusted provider of end-of-life care, blending tradition with modern convenience to honor the lives of those who have passed.
