Airlines make quite a bit of profit by shipping bodies, if fact they often court funeral home directors by offering Frequent Flyer Miles. That fact only would make me wary if a funeral home insisted I use one carrier over another.

Dozens of airlines fly LAS-PIT. I'd shop around, try smaller airlines like Midwest or Airtran

Dude, I wish I could get CO to give me frequent flyer miles for doing my job. I'm going to have to check in with them.
