The Process for a Cremation

There is a strict code of standards that all crematories must follow to ensure that remains are ethically managed and handled. Only one body can be cremated at a time. Before performing another crematiion, we must clear all of the previous remains. Once your loved one is taken into care by a crematory, they will be properly ID'd and tagged in order to avoid any issues during the process. In preperation for the cremation, we remove all medical implants. Here is how the process unfolds.

A Code of Standards

There is a strict code of standards that all crematories must follow to ethically manage and handle all remains. Cremation happens with only one body at a time. Before moving onto another cremation, we completely clear the remains in the chamber. This is a must. Once your loved one is taken into our care, they will be properly ID'd and tagged. A quick and simple process to avoid any issues before and after the cremation. We will also remove all medical implants during the preparation process. Here is how the rest of the process unfolds:

  1. The deceased is placed into a combustible container that is then placed into the cremation chamber.
  2. The cremation process begins by adding intense heat to reduce the body to cremated remains or ashes.
  3. During the process, the body is reduced to its base elements and can take from between 1-4 hours. This is dependent on the ability of the machine.
  4. The remains following the cremation are then mechanically grounded into a powder resulting is 3-9 pounds of cremated remains.

There does not need to be a casket for cremation. All you need is an "alternative container." For example, rigid cardboard or a plywood container. Not needing a casket can save you a significant amount of money. Then there is a direct cremation, which is when the body of the deceased is collected and transferred directly to the funeral home or crematory where an immediate cremation is done. With this, minimal services are required, which can lower the cost too. Not all funeral homes can accommodate this sort of cremation. But we will work with you to ensure that you get the cremation services that are respectful and dignified.
