     2.  The Administrator or the Administrator’s designee shall cause a decent burial to be provided for the client outside the grounds of a division facility. The Administrator or the designee may enter into a contract with any person or persons, including governmental agencies or other instrumentalities, as the Administrator or the designee deems proper, for a decent burial. Where there are known relatives, and they are financially able, the cost of burial must be borne by the relatives. Where there are no known relatives, the cost of burial is a charge against the State of Nevada, except that the cost must not exceed the amount charged for the burial of indigents in the county in which the burial takes place.
