Family Focused Care

It is important for a family to understand exactly where their loved one is being taken and cared for and who is completing the cremation. Many funeral homes do not clearly disclose where the loved one is or who is handling the cremation. Often times other funeral homes and crematories use confusing or unclear language or excuses to delay the process, leaving a family wondering when or where the cremation will occur. We pride ourselves on clear and concise communication. 

Care Cremation & Burial handles all arrangements for a loved one; from time of transfer into our Care facility by our staff, on-site shelter, as well as cremation, all at our location, your loved one is kept in our care. 

There is never outsourcing or third parties, and cremation takes place in a few days, not a few weeks. (Once the doctor has signed the death certificate, which can take a few days depending on the cooperation of the doctor and medical staff.)

Care Cremation & Burial can also receive your loved one from another funeral home including a death that involved the Clark County Coroner. You have the right to select a funeral home and crematory. 

For more information and help, please call us anytime, day or night. 

With Care Cremation & Burial, we keep our prices low to help serve families at their worst possible time. Our cremation without formal services starts at $1,100. Our cremation arrangements include:

• Transfer to Care by Our licensed staff.
• Meeting the family to arrange for the cremation.
• Collecting and filing the information for the death certificate; notifying Social Security of the death.
• Shelter and care of the loved one at our on-site holding facility.
• "A Time to Say Goodbye"- every family is given the opportunity to say goodbye and make positive identification of their loved one at our facility, at no charge.
• Completion of the cremation using a simple cremation container*, at our on-site crematory and return of the cremated remains to family. 
• Some families will purchase an urn, but one is not required. We include a rigid plastic container to contain the loved one's cremated remains.

• State/County Fee ($25, one-time fee) 
• Each certified copy of the death certificate is $25 each and Care will order and receive the certified copies for the family from the Southern Nevada Health District at no additional cost. 

We pride ourselves on clear and transparent pricing. There are no additional charges for family requests, like locks of hair, fingerprinting or if there is a second licensed staff member needed for a death at a home. If there is a pacemaker, there is no charge for our licensed staff to remove it. We do not charge a handling fee to order or receive certified death certificates. The county charges sales tax depending on the selection of merchandise items. In the event that the family cannot find an urn or keepsake in our selection, we charge a fee to place the cremated remains into the item, so the family does not have to do it themselves.

There is never a fee to be able to make positive identification of a loved one and to say goodbye, but some families desire to be present at the time of cremation, scheduling and witnessing the start of the cremation, at the request of the family, is $300. It is not a requirement to be present when the cremation occurs. 

*Due to a loved one's stature or weight, it can be necessary to purchase a more rigid cremation container, as well as other special handling fees, all of which can be discussed with our staff.

If there are any questions, our staff stands ready to answer any and all of your families' questions.
