Payne County currrently has four towns with active funeral homes- Cushing, Perkins, Stillwater and Yale. However, in the past there were undertakers of funeral homes in Glencoe and Ripley. In addition, many undertakers and funeral homes have ceased to exist.
In the following list I have attempted to identify all funeral homes and undertaking establishments that have existed at one time or another in Payne County OK. Years of operation are included when known. Existence of records is also indicated.
