Since the early 1900s, Johnson’s Funeral Home has had the distinction of being one of Scott County’s oldest continuing business.
Johnson’s Funeral Home has been serving the needs of Georgetown, Scott County, and Central Kentucky area families for over a century and is proud to be locally owned. We have an extensive history of earning each family’s trust by creating a truly caring and compassionate environment every time we are called to serve and are building on that reputation with enhanced services under owner Grant Bolt.
The joy of living means different things to different people. A funeral or memorial service should celebrate the choices made, and the relationships shared, and honor the memory of your loved one.
For generations, we have continued to give each family the attention and care they deserve during their time of need.
Grant, a licensed embalmer, funeral director and crematory operator, came back to Johnson’s in September of 2014. A native of Grayson, KY, he began his career at Johnson’s before spending more than 20 years of funeral service in Central Kentucky.
Common Questions about pre-planning
Why do people pre-plan funerals? Pre-planning reduces stress for your family at an already emotional time. Pre-planning and funding your pre-need agreement assures that your family will never have to pay more in the future for the inflation-protected funeral goods and services you selected and helps relieve them from this added financial responsibility.
How does pre-planning work? You make decisions now about the type of goods and services that you want rather than having your family make them for you when they are emotionally upset. Our staff will assist you in completing the necessary documents.
Does the funding for your pre-planned funeral have to be paid all at once? No. That decision is entirely up to you. You can pay with one single payment or make multiple payments over a period of time.
Does the funeral home hold the money until it is needed? No. For your protection, the funds are protected through a state-approved insurance policy. The insurance we offer is specifically designed for pre-planning; therefore you cannot be turned down. The funeral home isn’t paid until after the funeral has been provided.
What if I decide to make changes after I have already pre-planned? You can easily make changes to your funeral plan at any time.
What happens to the life insurance that people already have if their funeral is funded with the funeral pre-plan? Their life insurance is paid to the beneficiary (usually a spouse or children) and the beneficiary will keep it rather than paying it toward a funeral bill. A common situation that occurs is that both husband and wife have one or more policies for themselves. When the first one dies, the social security income reduces, but most of the monthly bills stay the same. Life insurance is intended to help make up some of the reduced income for the surviving spouse. It does not help them if they owe it to a funeral home.
