Making cremation arrangements for a loved one in hospice care in Las Vegas
If your loved one is in hospice care, it can provide peace of mind to have made provisional arrangements for when the time comes. It can ensure that your devotion can be given entirely to your loved one at their time of passing. It can also help hospice staff be prepared to ease the process when the time comes.
You can arrange a direct cremation with a discount for a hospice patient. Many funeral service providers are used to working in close relationships with hospice personnel to help prepare for a patient’s final journey. Therefore, close relationships help simplify the process of transfer from the hospice to the funeral home, and the collection of personal data on the deceased is required for the death certificate.

What if a loved one died in Las Vegas, and I need to transport their remains to another State?
We are a more transient nation today, and more Americans move about the country for pleasure, work, entertainment, or visiting family. This does mean that more deaths occur away from a person’s home residence or state. Shipping human remains to another state (or overseas) can be expensive. We are looking at $4,000 to $15,000 expenses just for the mortuary transfer charges.
Therefore, if a loved one has passed in Las Vegas, a more affordable alternative may be to conduct a direct cremation in Nevada and transport the cremated remains, especially as a direct cremation can be arranged for less than $1,000.
If you do regularly travel for work, pleasure, sport, visiting family, or snow-birding, you may wish to consider our great value Travel Protection Plan. This plan costs just $450 for an individual for lifetime protection against the costly expense of returning a body home if a death occurs 75 miles (or further) from your residence. It also provides global coverage. Domestic funeral shipping costs $3,000, and international repatriation costs around $6,900.
Are there any veteran benefits to discount a cremation?
Yes, certain veteran benefits are available. A veteran is entitled to a free cemetery plot or cremation niche at a veterans cemetery, the Military Funeral Honors (MFH) of the flag folding, and a free grave marker.
Obtaining copies of a death certificate in Nevada
If you require additional copies of the death certificate, these can be obtained from Nevada Vital Records. You can order online via Vitalchek.com or (877) 456-5410. You must submit a photo ID, which usually takes 8 to 10 days. Copies cost $25.00.
Is there any financial assistance in Clark County to help with funeral expenses?
Financial assistance for funeral expenses is getting more and more stretched as counties struggle to manage budgets. There is generally a provision from a county to take care of indigent dispositions. Clark County Social Services will assess eligibility and only accept referrals directly from funeral establishments or direct cremation providers contracted with CCSS.
CCSS can be reached at (702) 455-4270 for more information.
If the deceased qualifies, a $255 Social Security lump-sum death benefit payment will be made, and the funeral home will usually assist in applying for this benefit.
