The timeline for a completed cremation is APPROXIMATELY 15 BUSINESS DAYS from the completion of arrangements (all necessary signatures, data needed to produce a Death Certificate, AND payment received). This is NOT a guarantee. This is NOT a guarantee due to circumstances outside of the control of the Company (e.g., a doctor’s signature is required, which may extend the time period). Weekends and holidays ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE 15-DAY TIME PERIOD.
Once arrangements are completed, the Original Death Certificate is prepared by our staff and sent electronically to the attending physician’s office, hospital, hospice, or other facilities as directed by the doctor that is responsible for signing the Death Certificate. Once the doctor has signed the Death Certificate, it is submitted to the County Coroner’s office, then the Nevada Health District where, if they agree that the cause(s) are acceptable, a permit is generated for cremation.
Once the permit is received, it, along with the Cremation Authorization Forms and accompanying documents, are given to our crematory to be scheduled. We do not place a greater importance on one decedent over another. Cremations are done chronologically.
If, for whatever reason, you want the cremation to take place within a shorter timeframe, you can pay a “rush charge".
* For cremation WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY OF RECEIPT OF PERMIT: $350
Cremation time varies with each individual decedent, but the process usually takes between 2 to 4 hours to complete. We only cremate ONE BODY AT A TIME. Once the cremated remains are ready, we will contact the legal next-of-kin.
If cremated remains are not picked up or suitable arrangements for the remains have not been arranged for (i.e. - scattering, mailing, etc.), there will be a storage fee of $35 PER MONTH after 30 days from the date of cremation.
All care, storage and the cremation process of human remains occurs at 5301 Longley Lane, Suite E-180, Reno, NV 89511. Cremations may also be performed at 437 Stoker Ave., Reno, Nevada 89503.
