Alexander Funeral Home

Alexander Funeral Home has been a locally owned and operated funeral home serving Breckinridge and Meade Counties as well as the surrounding areas since 1952. The funeral home was originally established by J.L. Alexander and was housed in a smaller building on Hwy 60 in Irvington. In 1970, Mr. Alexander selected the present sight of the funeral home and built the current funeral home building and residence.

Staff members of ALEXANDER FUNERAL HOME are caring and experienced professionals who understand that each family is unique and has personal requests and traditions. These requests and traditions are of utmost importance to our staff of licensed funeral directors. John M. Bruington and Debra Bruington purchased part of the Alexander Funeral Home in 2007 and purchased the rest of it in 2020.

Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.

Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.

Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.
