Nevada Funeral Laws & Requirements
Nevada has specific regulations governing funerals, burials, and cremations. Understanding these before making decisions can save time and prevent complications.
Types of Funeral Services Available
Every funeral home offers different packages, but most fall into these five standard categories.
Traditional Burial
The most comprehensive option. Includes embalming, a viewing/visitation, funeral ceremony, and graveside committal. Highest cost due to casket, facilities, and staff time.
Direct Cremation
The deceased is cremated shortly after death without a viewing or formal ceremony. Ashes are returned to the family. Often the most affordable option available.
Cremation + Memorial
Direct cremation followed by a memorial service at a later date, with or without the ashes present. Offers flexibility to plan the gathering when the family is ready.
Graveside Service
A shorter, simpler service held entirely at the cemetery right before burial. Skips the funeral home chapel ceremony and formal viewing.
Immediate Burial
The deceased is buried shortly after death without embalming, public viewing, or a graveside service ceremony. A more affordable burial option.
