Our History >    F.B. Hardy graduated from Cincinnati School of
  Mortuary Science in 1919 and worked in his father's business,
  "The F. H. Hardy Undertaking Company" in West Point, Kentucky.
  Following the death of his father in 1925, F.B. set out to practice
  his trade.  When he stepped off a train at a stop in Smiths Grove,
  Kentucky to buy some breakfast, he walked down the street
  thinking he rather liked this little town.  He passed a sign that
  read "Funeral Home For Sale", and as they say, the rest is history.
     This became a family business in 1950 when F.B.'s son, W.B.,
  graduated from Kentucky School of Mortuary Science and
  joined his father.  W.B. and his wife, Mary Lou, expanded the
  business when they opened a Bowling Green location in the
  former residence of Duncan Hines.  In 1968 W.B.'s son, Bill Jr.,
  a licensed funeral director,  joined the family business.
  Today, Bill Jr. operates the business with the same traditions
  of integrity, compassion, honesty, and caring that his great
  grandfather established in 1926.
     Bill has surrounded himself with members from the community
   who exhibit the same strong principles as his business.  Betty
  McDaniel has worked at Hardy and son Funeral Homes for 18
  years as a licensed funeral director.  Faye Phelps, an
  apprentice funeral director, has been with the business for 8
  years. Sheila Gravil is an apprentice funeral director and
  embalmer, and Ron Gravil is a licensed funeral
  director and embalmer and both joined Hardy and Son in 2007.
     The staff at Hardy and Son always treats your loved one with 
  respect so you will have a treasured memory of your final visit
  with them.  They will treat your family with compassion, making
  this time as comfortable as possible.
     Hardy and Son Funeral Homes are large enough to serve you in
  your time of need yet remain small enough to care about every
  detail.  They can accommodate and need, whether it be a simple
  memorial service, a traditional funeral service, or a celebration-
 of-life service.
     Established 82 years ago by F.B. Hardy, it is now Bill Hardy, Jr.
  who moves Hardy and Son toward new horizons as
  professionals offering services to enable you to show you
  devotion and respect for your loved one.
