INFORMAL COMPLAINT FORM
Informal Complaint Instructions and Information
Chapter 642 of the Nevada Revised Statues authorizes the Nevada Funeral and Cemetery
Services Board (Board) to investigate accusations against persons licensed or issued permits by the
Board. A notarized Informal Complaint Form must be received in the office before the Board can take
any action. Please complete the Informal Complaint Form and mail to the office with any pertinent
information and supporting documents that may substantiate any violations of under the purview of the
Board. In order for disciplinary action to be taken, an accusation must fall within the provisions set
forth in the statutes or in the regulations promulgated by the Board.
All accusations are carefully reviewed for potential violations. If potential violations are
identified, an investigation will be commenced. After all the facts have been obtained and if it is
determined that the actions may constitute a violation of law, the matter will be submitted for an
evaluation to determine whether sufficient evidence exists for the Board to file a formal complaint. If it
is determined that no potential violation exists or there is insufficient evidence to file a formal
complaint, the accusation may be dismissed. You will be notified of the outcome of this review.
If a formal complaint is filed, the matter will be set for a disciplinary hearing and you may be
asked to testify. At any time during this process, the respondent may choose to resolve the matter by
entering into a consent decree. A consent decree is a written agreement between the parties in which
the person charged admits to certain violations and agrees to a particular disciplinary action.
