Dermitt Funeral Home

Dermitt Funeral Home has been a cornerstone of the Leitchfield, Kentucky community since its founding in September 1969. As a family-owned and operated establishment, it has built a reputation for providing dignified, personalized funeral and cremation services with a warm, family atmosphere. The guiding philosophy of founder Edward Dermitt, who famously said, 'Never say anything is good enough,' continues to drive the staff's commitment to excellence and continuous improvement.

The funeral home is located at 306 West Main Street in Leitchfield, offering a wheelchair-accessible facility with on-site parking. The team, led by owner Daniel Dermitt along with Roger and Chris Dermitt, brings over 60 years of combined licensed experience to serve families during their most difficult times. They are dedicated to providing competitive pricing and comprehensive services that honor the unique life of each loved one.

Dermitt Funeral Home offers a wide range of services to meet diverse needs and preferences. For traditional burials, they provide Batesville caskets, concrete and steel outer burial containers, and complete memorial packages including register books, memorial folders, and thank you cards. Their facilities are designed for visitations and services, and they have professional staff to guide families through every step. They also offer hearses and other funeral vehicles, and can arrange for a limousine if desired. For those choosing cremation, options include a traditional funeral service with a rental casket (or regular casket), immediate cremation followed by a memorial service at their facility, or direct cremation with no services.

Beyond the immediate arrangements, Dermitt Funeral Home provides extensive support. They handle all Veterans Administration paperwork for burial benefits, flags, and grave markers, and they notify the Social Security Administration on behalf of families. They also assist with filing insurance claims. An aftercare program offers ongoing support to surviving immediate family members. Additionally, they provide memorial cards featuring a photograph of the deceased, and they create video tributes for the website and a DVD for visitations at a nominal fee.

Understanding that grief is a journey, Dermitt Funeral Home offers a year of weekly grief support messages to provide strength and comfort. They also encourage pre-planning, allowing individuals to make decisions in advance to ease the burden on loved ones. A 24-hour recorded obituary phone line (270-259-3755) keeps the community informed. For pricing transparency, a complete general price list is available upon request, along with detailed casket and outer burial price lists.

Dermitt Funeral Home remains a trusted partner for families in Grayson County and beyond, upholding Edward Dermitt's legacy of never settling for 'good enough' and always striving to serve with compassion, integrity, and professionalism.
