Funeral Services for Great Crossing Families

When a Great Crossing family calls on Johnson's Funeral Home, they are choosing a firm that has cared for Scott County families since 1900. We offer a full range of traditional funeral options, including visitation, a formal funeral service, and a graveside committal service, arranged around your family's wishes and traditions.

For families who want a service shaped entirely around the life being honored, our certified life celebrant works directly with you to build a celebration of life that reflects your loved one's story, values, and relationships, rather than following a fixed format. We also coordinate veteran and military funeral honors and VA benefits assistance for families in Great Crossing who wish to recognize a loved one's service to our country.

Every arrangement includes guidance on permanent memorialization, from urn selection and columbarium placement to help with cemetery coordination, and our staff includes a beautician for cosmetology and hairdressing preparation before a visitation. Whatever your family's wishes, we walk through every option with you in plain language, and we answer all questions about cost over the phone rather than through a printed list, so you can focus on the decisions that matter most. When you are ready, our team is here to help you plan a full range of funeral services that feels true to your family, including veteran and military funeral honors where they are needed.

Why Great Crossing Families Choose Johnson's Funeral Home

Johnson's Funeral Home has served Georgetown and Scott County continuously since 1900, guided across four generations by the Johnson family before passing to current owner D. Grant Bolt, who began his apprenticeship at the firm in 1994 and has led it since 2014. Grant is a licensed funeral director and embalmer, a Certified Funeral Service Practitioner (CFSP), a Member of the British Institute of Embalmers (MBIE), and a Past President of the Funeral Directors Association of Kentucky.

That depth of credential is paired with a genuinely local presence. Our team is active in Georgetown and Scott County through Rotary, the Chamber of Commerce, youth sports, and mission work, so the people arranging your service are also your neighbors. Sharon Alexander, our certified Life Tribute Celebrant, works alongside families who want a personalized celebration of life rather than a traditional format alone.

About Great Crossing, Kentucky

Great Crossing is an unincorporated community in west-central Scott County, about three miles west of Georgetown, where Kentucky Route 227 runs through the heart of the community and U.S. Route 460 passes just to the south. The community takes its name from a shallow ford where herds of bison once crossed the North Elkhorn Creek, which still runs through the area today.

Great Crossing was first settled in 1783 as Johnson's Station, a fort built by Robert and Jemima Johnson, an early pioneer family from Scott County's founding era. Great Crossing Baptist Church, organized in 1785, remains an active congregation in the community today. The area is also home to Great Crossing High School, part of Scott County Schools, which carries the community's name forward for a new generation of families. For those in Great Crossing, serving all of Scott County means Johnson's Funeral Home is only a short, familiar drive down KY-227 into Georgetown.
