Funeral homes in Louisville, KY
40 trading funeral homes in Louisville, each one carried by the Kentucky licensing roster or by an independent directory. Direct cremation among the 39 we hold prices for runs from $950 to $3,390. That is $2,440 between two homes in the same city for the same service.
Call more than one. George R. Mason Funeral Home is recorded at $950 and Arch L. Heady & Russman Funeral Home at $3,390 for a direct cremation. Nothing about the service differs by $2,440. Prices move and ours may be out of date, which is exactly why the phone call is the point.

What a burial actually costs in Louisville
The prices above are the funeral home's charges. The cemetery bills separately, and that second bill is the one families do not see coming. In Kentucky the plot, opening and closing the grave, the vault and the headstone add roughly $6,290 on top, which takes a traditional burial with a viewing to about $14,110.
| Item | Billed by | Kentucky typical |
|---|---|---|
| Funeral service with viewing | Funeral home | $5,420 |
| Casket, standard steel | Funeral home | $2,400 |
| Cemetery plot | Cemetery | $1,290 |
| Opening and closing the grave | Cemetery | $1,450 |
| Burial vault or grave liner | Cemetery | $1,630 |
| Headstone or marker | Monument dealer | $1,920 |
| Total | $14,110 |
Covering $14,110 in Louisville
A burial insurance policy is written for this bill and nothing else. Coverage is usually $5,000 to $25,000, it pays out in days rather than weeks, and for most people over 50 there is no medical exam.
(786) 818-0383Talk to one of our licensed agentsCommon questions
How many funeral homes are there in Louisville?
40 are trading, meaning a Kentucky licensing roster carries them or an independent directory does. 39 of those publish a direct cremation price we hold. 4 more records match a funeral home name in a registry without anything confirming one trades there.
What is the cheapest funeral home in Louisville?
Of the 39 homes in Louisville we hold prices for, George R. Mason Funeral Home records the lowest direct cremation at $950 and Arch L. Heady & Russman Funeral Home the highest at $3,390. Those figures are dated on each home's own page and several are years old, so call to confirm. The gap is the reason to call more than one.
Do funeral homes in Louisville have to tell me their prices?
Yes. The FTC Funeral Rule requires any funeral home to give you an itemised general price list as soon as you start discussing arrangements in person, and to disclose prices over the telephone if you ask. You do not have to give your name to get a price. You are not required to buy a package, and you may buy a casket elsewhere without being charged a handling fee.
How much does a burial cost in Louisville once the cemetery is included?
About $14,110 in Kentucky for a traditional burial with a viewing. Roughly $7,820 of that is the funeral home and about $6,290 is the cemetery and the monument dealer, billed separately and usually quoted separately, which is why the first number families are given is around half the eventual total.
Unconfirmed records in Louisville
These 4 reached us as a name match in a corporate or tax registry, or as a map pin, and nothing confirms that a funeral home trades at the address. They are listed because a search for the name should find something rather than nothing, and they are not part of any count or comparison above. Treat them as a lead to check, not as a business we are telling you about.
