We were one of the first funeral homes in the area to establish ourselves as a self contained full service funeral facility,. The building was constructed around meeting the needs of those calling upon us for help in a time of loss. The spacious primary funeral chapel was built to hold 225 persons, also the staff are easily able to serve four families at the same time without any one family being in the way of another. Pulaski Funeral Home was also built for those with special needs in mind, it was, and still is, the only funeral establishment in Pulaski Co. KY where not a single step is encountered to get into or out of our facility, also, not a single step is encountered while moving around inside our spacious facility. The Parking lot has doubled in size twice since 1967 to facilitate the ever increasing populace of our county.....it also is level and requires zero special effort for those with special needs. In the past, Pulaski Funeral Home has been there to establish strong traditions with families and the forward thinking of past leadership has helped this firm remain just as strong today.
