Cremation in Las Vegas

Signature Dedication displayFamilies of all faiths are increasingly choosing cremation. Reform Judaism no longer opposes cremation like it once did, and some Jewish families have adopted the practice.

Though there are many options for cremation in Las Vegas, they're not all equal. We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our all-inclusive pricing. Our friendly team pays attention to every detail, providing service that is second to none.

Regardless of faith, most people aren’t familiar with the many options cremation affords:

  • a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
  • a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
  • a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

If you're interested in cemetery placement, King David Cemetery includes a cremation garden.

And for those who wish for something more momentous, Neptune Memorial Reef is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. A Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.

King David Cemetery

Cemetery Gardens at King David Memorial Chapel & CemeteryWith shrubbery, shade trees, green lawns and orderly pathways, King David Cemetery is a desert respite. With Orthodox, Conservative and Reform sections, its grounds reflect the diversity of Las Vegas' Jewish community.

Recognizing that more Jewish families are choosing cremation, the cemetery includes family columbaria, spaces for ground burial and cremation benches in the Reform section.

Every garden in the memorial park is consecrated by a local Jewish rabbi.

Holocaust Memorial Plaza

King David Holocaust Memorial PlazaNevada's first Holocaust memorial, Holocaust Memorial Plaza was created as a sacred space for Holocaust survivors and their family members to remember and honor the 6 million Jews and 5 million others killed in the Holocaust. It's also intended as a resource for educators and rabbis to help the community learn more about the Holocaust.

Unveiled in April 2022, the plaza carries much meaning: Crumbling brick walls reflect the deterioration of Jewish life as the Nazi party started their persecution; a Star of David emerges from the ground to symbolize Judaism rising up to survive. Around the memorial, bronze plaques are engraved with the names, locations and death counts of World War II extermination camps; soil from near each camp has been placed beneath the plaques. A timeline of the event is engraved in granite, completing a very powerful place of remembrance.
