As you begin to research funeral costs in the Silver State, you’ll notice that the cost of cremation in Nevada by funeral homes may go up to $10,000. However, there are lower-cost options available.
Before we discuss these low cost funeral options, it’s important you understand the types of cremation services.
Cremation Costs in Nevada
The cost of cremation in Nevada is determined by the type of service selected by the deceased’s family. Or – sometimes, the person who died may have left behind a detailed plan outlining their final wishes.
Here are the most popular cremation options, starting with the most expensive.
Traditional funeral followed by cremation
Some families choose what is commonly called a “traditional cremation.” In this option, the body is embalmed and placed in a rental casket, so the body is present during the funeral service. After the services, the cremation process is performed, and all the cremated remains are later returned to the family members in Nevada in an urn or an alternative container.
This type of cremation appeals to those who prefer to have the body present at the visitation or funeral.
Cremation followed by memorial service at a funeral home
If you are looking for more affordable cremation services, you might consider direct cremation followed by a service at a funeral home. With this option, the cremation is performed as soon as allowed. After the memorial services at the facility, the family and friends can gather for the burial or scattering of the remains.
This option would be less expensive than traditional burial or cremation in Nevada, as there would be no additional cost for the embalming and casket. However, because the services are performed at a funeral home, you will still have to pay the additional fees to use the facility.
Simple or direct cremation
The least expensive option is direct cremation by a direct cremation provider, such as Smart Cremation. Direct cremation providers will remove the body from the place of death after you have said your final goodbyes and transport it to the crematory.
The next-of-kin can then choose to make funeral arrangements as they see fit. Some have a funeral or memorial service at their place of worship. Others may choose to have graveside services and have the remains buried near the family grave marker. Still, others may scatter their loved one’s remains followed by a party in Las Vegas, or they may choose to mourn privately.
