About Us

Rudy-Rowland Funeral Home began in 1879 as the Henderson Coffin and Embalming Company owned by Givens Rudy and transitioned in 1906 to The Rudy-Rowland Undertaking and Livery Company under the ownership of H.G. “Gillie” Rowland, James Rowland, and Givens Rudy. In 1925, James Rowland became the sole owner of what then was known as Rudy-Rowland Mortuary Company, which he owned and operated until his death in 1960, at which time Henderson native Jane Galloway became the owner. Upon Ms. Galloway’s death in 1985, her sisters, Dora G. Carney and Hilda G. Posey, became the owners until their selling to another Hendersonian, Gary G. Schneider and family, in September 1988, thus becoming what is today know as Rudy-Rowland Funeral Home.
