Approximately Two-Thirds of Funeral Homes Do Not Own a Crematory -Why This Matters

Choosing a funeral home should mean choosing trust, transparency, and dignity.But did you know that approximately two-thirds of funeral homes in Kentucky and Indiana do not own their own crematory?This means your loved one is being transported—sometimes across state lines—to a third-party facility you’ve never heard of, by people you’ve never met.Even more concerning, most funeral homes will not disclose who is actually performing the cremation or where it is happening.This leaves families with serious questions about the care, safety, and handling of their loved one’s remains.

What You Need to Know About Funeral Homes and Third-Party Crematories

🚩 Minimal Oversight:

Nearly half of funeral homes that outsource cremation only inspect their third-party provider sporadically—if at all. Some never inspect them.

🚩 No Guaranteed Identification Process:

Only 36% of funeral homes operate in states that require mandatory identification of remains prior to cremation.

🚩 Higher Risk of Errors:

Without strict tracking, misidentification and cremation mix-ups can—and do—happen.

🚩 Lack of Transparency:

Many funeral homes refuse to disclose where cremations take place or who performs them.
