Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is Cremation?

 

Cremation is the process of reducing a deceased person's body to ashes through intense heat in a specialized facility called a crematorium. During cremation, the body is placed in a chamber within the crematorium, where temperatures reach 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. This high heat reduces the body to bone fragments, which are then processed into a fine powder commonly referred to as "ashes." These ashes, or "cremains," can be kept in an urn, scattered in a meaningful location, or interred. Cremation has become a popular choice for its simplicity, affordability, and flexibility, allowing families multiple options for honoring their loved one’s memory.

How soon after death can cremation take place?

 

The deceased stays in a safe, climate-controlled environment while death and cremation documents are processed. Many states have a specific waiting period, for example, two days, and require authorization for cremation by a coroner or medical examiner.

 

How can I tell if I am getting a reputable firm to handle the cremation?

 

There are many ways to ensure you choose a reputable firm. Check the qualifications of the staff, learn about the procedures that ensure proper running of the crematorium and proper identification of the deceased, and assess the candid and direct disclosure of costs.
