Happy New Year! Sandi This tip is especially for those living outside of Kentucky who might have need to contact a funeral home in order to ascertain if any death/burial records exist for their ancestors. Most funeral homes came into existence in the 1890's. Many no longer have their records back that far however. I have found that the majority of funeral homes owners are most gracious in looking through their records. Many keep their burial records in large over-sized books; some on index cards. Information varies from home to home, but most will show the name of the deceased, date of death, age and location. Many records will show the date of birth, place of birth, occupation, parents' names, relatives (and sometimes their address), cause of death, physician and how long a resident of the state, when services held and burial date and location. If writing to a funeral home, please always include as much information as you have as to the name and date and include a self-addressed stamped envelope for their reply. This list is likely not complete but are the only ones I have been able to locate to date, pulled from 3 funeral sites and written records. Since there will be a word wrap on the e-mail members, you might want to cut and paste this to a word processor file.
