Nevada § 451.680 - Procedure and space for cremation

§ 451.680. Procedure and space for cremation

1. The agent, or the person charged with arranging for disposition of the body of

a person who has ordered his or her own cremation, shall ensure that any artificial

device that would be dangerous if cremated is removed from the human remains before

their cremation. If he or she is unable to arrange for its removal before the remains are delivered

to a crematory, he or she shall inform the operator of the crematory. 2. The space within a crematory where cremation takes place must be enclosed and must

not be used for any other purpose than the cremation of human remains. Immediately before a container is placed in this chamber, the identification of

the human remains within it must be verified by the operator and any identifying document

or label for the urn must be removed from the container and kept near the control

panel until cremation is complete. 3. Upon the completion of cremation, the operator shall: (a) Remove the recoverable residue from the chamber; (b) Place the bone fragments or soil, as applicable, in an urn with proper identification

and insofar as practicable place no other material with them unless authorized by

the agent; and (c) Dispose of the remaining residue. 4. If the cremated remains will not fit in the urn selected by the agent, the operator

of the crematory shall hold the remains until the agent selects an urn or urns in

which the remains will fit.
