How big is the tank? Under 10 gallons? If so then you can only keep ONE in
that tank. 10 per goldfish is the "rule".

Do you know what caused the death of your goldfish? I would check my
ph, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels and perform a large water
change before doing anything. No, its not cruel to keep only one
goldfish (although they do seem to prefer to have a buddy) it really
depends on your situation. If your tank is large enough and you have a
quarantine tank set up for a new fish then I say go fish shopping : )
