Direct cremation in Somerset, KY is listed at $1,100 at Somerset Undertaking Company & Crematory and $1,395 at Pulaski Funeral Home, an average of $1,248. These are the two Somerset providers with a direct cremation price on their FuneralUS profile, as listed in October 2026. Call to confirm the current price before you decide.
Direct cremation means your loved one is cremated without a viewing or ceremony beforehand. It's usually the least expensive option, and the family can hold a memorial service later, whenever it suits them.
A listed price doesn't always cover the same things. Ask each provider whether theirs includes bringing your loved one into their care, the container, the cremation itself and returning the ashes.

What can I ask a Somerset funeral home for?
You can compare prices without visiting anyone. The FTC's Funeral Rule gives you these rights with every funeral provider:
Prices by phone. Funeral directors must give you price information on the telephone if you ask for it.
A price list to keep. When you visit, the funeral home must give you a General Price List that is yours to keep.
Only what you want. You can buy separate goods, such as a casket, and separate services, such as a memorial service.
No casket needed for cremation. A funeral home that offers cremation must tell you that alternative containers are available.
Your own urn or casket. The provider can't refuse to handle an urn or casket you bought somewhere else.
No routine embalming. No state law requires routine embalming for every death.
You can keep them at home in an urn, bury them in a cemetery plot or columbarium, divide them among family in keepsake urns, have some made into memorial jewelry or glass, or scatter them somewhere meaningful. Check local rules before scattering.
