Clark County, through CCSS, is responsible to furnish a cremation and burial for persons who die within Clark County and who meet eligibility guidelines.

The assistance is also available for residents who die out of Clark County if they were sent out of Clark County by CCSS for nursing home placement or hospital care.

Referrals are accepted only from mortuaries on rotation with the Clark County Coroner's office or from the Clark County Public Administrator (PA) / Public Guardian (PG).   Referrals may be submitted by the mortuaries on behalf of family and friends.
