How Much Is a Funeral

Their own posted prices, dated and sourced. Every funeral home, as we reach them.

How much does a burial with a graveside service cost in Kentucky?

$4,473. That is the median of the figures posted by the 18 funeral homes in Kentucky whose price lists we have read for a burial with a graveside service. The least expensive of them is $2,505 and the most expensive is $6,290.

The price lists behind these figures are dated Aug 10, 2023 to Aug 21, 2026. We last checked them between Aug 18, 2026 and Sep 11, 2026.

Every figure is that home's own posted price with its county's permit fee and one certified copy of the death certificate added, wherever both are on file, rounded once. Open a home to change the county or the number of copies.

What this includes

A state's median is the middle of the figures the homes in it show, so it carries the same county fees and the same one certified copy those figures carry.

We hold posted prices in 6 of Kentucky's 120 counties. We are still collecting in the other 114, and a county is missing from this list because we have not read a price list there yet, not because its funeral homes charge nothing.

Other questions about Kentucky

No funeral home charges the median. It's where to start, not what you'll pay. The home you call will quote its own price, and the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule requires it to give you a price list you can keep when you sit down with it.
