Attorney General Russell Coleman announced Tuesday action by the Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Protection has resulted in an immediate order to cease cremations at the Cloverport Funeral Home in Breckinridge County.
Officials said they received information on January 2 that led to an investigation of Cloverport Funeral Home. Their investigation found the facility had failed to register to operate a crematory and was providing cremation services without a license, in violation of Kentucky law. Attorney General Coleman’s office secured a temporary restraining order.
The attorney general’s office also confirmed the presence of an unlicensed cremation chamber, known as a retort, at the Cloverport Funeral Home’s location. The Cloverport City Police assisted in the investigation.
Since April 2023, Cloverport Funeral Home has allegedly performed over 300 cremations.
