§ 433B.205. Notification of death of consumer; burial

1. Upon the death of a consumer in a division facility, any known relatives or friends

of the consumer must be notified immediately of the fact of death. 2. The Administrator or the Administrator's designee shall cause a decent burial to

be provided for the consumer outside the grounds of a division facility. The Administrator or the designee may enter into a contract with any person or persons,

including governmental agencies or other instrumentalities, as the Administrator or

the designee deems proper, for a decent burial. Where there are known relatives, and they are financially able, the cost of burial

must be borne by the relatives. Where there are no known relatives, the cost of burial is a charge against the State

of Nevada, except that the cost must not exceed the amount charged for the burial

of indigents in the county in which the burial takes place.
