The company started as an undertaker, embalmer, livery and boarding stable on Chateau Avenue in Price Hill. It then became B.J. Meyer Sons (Colonial) Funeral Home, moving to 3726 Warsaw Avenue in Price Hill. The B.J. Meyer Sons (Overlook) Funeral Home at 4841 Glenway Avenue, (next to St. Teresa Church) was later added. The funeral home has now expanded to include the B.J. Meyer Sons (Bridgetown) Funeral Home, 5864 Bridgetown Road. (east of St. Jude Church). This new expansion is under the guidance of Gregory A. Meyer, the fourth generation owner of the family business.

At the new Bridgetown Funeral Home, an old English Tudor family residence will be used for offices and meeting rooms. Two new chapels have been added. There are also 80 parking spaces. This new funeral home had it's grand opening in August of 2001
