Meyer Funeral Homes

B.J. Meyer Sons Funeral Home & Crematory, also known as Meyer Funeral Homes, is a fifth-generation, family-owned funeral home serving the Cincinnati, Ohio community with compassion and professionalism. Located at 5864 Bridgetown Road in the western hills area, this facility has been a pillar of care since its founding in 1884 by Ben Meyer. Originally established as Meyer's Exchange and Livery Service, the business began by boarding horses, renting wagons, and building horse-drawn hearses. In the early 1900s, Ben Meyer earned his funeral director and embalmer license, transitioning the family enterprise into a full-service funeral home. Over the decades, the Meyer family expanded, opening locations on Warsaw Avenue and Glenway Avenue, with the Bridgetown facility opening in March 2002. This location was built in 2000 by Greg Meyer and is designed as the premier funeral facility on the west side, combining a purpose-built modern space with the preserved charm of a Victorian-style house used for offices and conference rooms. The funeral home offers a wide range of services, including traditional funerals, cremation services, and personalized tributes. With an on-site crematory opened in 2016, families can rest assured that their loved ones never leave the care of the staff. The facility features large, well-decorated viewing rooms with an open floor plan that can accommodate over 120 guests, ample space for displaying memorabilia such as motorcycles or artwork, large flat-screen TVs for memorial videos, and an overhead sound system. The property provides the largest lighted parking lot among standalone funeral homes in the area, with security attendants and camera coverage for guest safety. B.J. Meyer Sons offers burial and cremation services, prepayment plans, financial assistance, and wheelchair-accessible amenities. Their team is available 24/7 to assist families in need, and they emphasize personalization, partnering with vendors to create custom DVD slideshows and memorial cards. The funeral home has earned a 4.4-star rating from 47 reviews, with clients praising the staff's knowledge, kindness, and professionalism. As one of Cincinnati's oldest family-owned funeral homes, B.J. Meyer Sons Funeral Home & Crematory continues to honor its legacy of devoted service, helping families say goodbye in meaningful, unique ways.
