Description:

A cemetery agent is an individual who offers, sells, or solicits the purchase of cemetery merchandise and services through a prepaid contract. To qualify for a cemetery agent license, an individual must be employed by a cemetery authority that holds a valid cemetery seller's license. Once issued, a cemetery agent license remains valid only while employed by a licensed cemetery seller. 

This license does not permit the offer or sale of goods and services provided by a funeral home through a prepaid contract. For information on selling funeral merchandise and services through prepaid contracts, see the Funeral Agent licensing page.

Application:

Apply online at www.sircon.com/nevada for resident and non-resident applicants. The application fee ($185.00 plus Sircon's processing fee) is paid upon submission. After the application is submitted, click the paperclip icon on the confirmation page to attach documents.

Resident applicants must be fingerprinted for a criminal history background check. After applying, upload the following documents to the application:

• Fingerprint Authorization Form - after applying, you will be sent a confirmation email from Sircon containing a link to this form. Bring this form to an approved fingerprint vendor to complete.
• Fingerprint Background Waiver  (Spanish) (Tagalog) (Traditional Chinese).
• Verification of Employment Form - this form must be completed by an authorized representative of the licensed cemetery seller.

Nonresident applicants do not need to be fingerprinted but must provide the Verification of Employment Form.

License Renewal:

A cemetery agent license is valid for three (3) years and expires on the last day of the month in which the license was issued.

Renew online at www.sircon.com/nevada.

• Attach a new Verification of Employment Form to the renewal application. This form must be completed and signed by an authorized representative of a licensed cemetery seller.
• Pay the renewal fee of $185.00 (plus Sircon's processing fee).

Late renewals are accepted within 30 days after the license expiration date but include a late fee of $62.50. After the 30-day grace period, the license expires and a new license application is required.
