Service Charges
Heritage Mortuary honors the bravery, sacrifice and service commitment of our military, veterans and first responders (firefighters and police men and women) with preferred pricing on services we provide.
We are pleased to provide you with a full disclosure of our professional service charges please just call us at any time at 702-852-1464. We are here to help!
To better understand funeral costs we have prepared an outline of the categories that make up a funeral account. There are basically four sections that make up a funeral account:
casket & merchandise selections, professional service charges, cash disbursements and taxes on applicable items.
To help consumers, legislation states...that all funeral homes must provide an itemized price list of all of their related professional service charges as well as casket and merchandise charges. This list must be available at the consumers' request without cost or obligation.
We pride ourselves on always being one of the most reasonably priced funeral homes in the Las Vegas area, although many expect our charges to be much higher given our level of professionalism, the quality of our facilities and our ethical standards.
Consumers and families finally can learn first hand that there is a difference in the service we provide and they do not need to fall into the trap of traditional loyalty many funeral homes attempt to count on. Today, being good is not good enough. We trust that the professional service you receive from Heritage will give you one more reason to give to call on Heritage during your hour of need. We pledge to provide you and your family with the highest standards of services and facilities while offering sensible and affordable solutions.
Casket & Merchandise Selections
We our an array of caskets to include cloth, wicker, wood, and metal. For a detailed list please give us a call at 702-852-1464. Just ask and we provide you with a detail briefing about our products. All of our caskets and merchandise is priced separately - meaning the price you see for the casket is for the casket itself with no other items included. Some of the other types of merchandise you might find in these section of the funeral account are: burial vaults, cremation urns, register books and upgraded stationary packages. Again, each is itemized based on your selection and a total is itemized under the "Casket & Merchandise Selections."

Also included in these charges are overhead expenses relative to our facility such as insurance, maintenance and utility expenses, secretarial and administrative costs and equipment and inventory costs.
Cash Disbursements
Cash disbursements are just as they imply: to aid the families we serve, we will cover third party expenses and place them on our account as a convenience until the estate is understood.
Strict legislation ensures that these items are not marked up and only the exact "cost" is included on the funeral account. Typical cash disbursements might include:
-
Newspaper Notices
