Crematory
Why is Having an Onsite Crematory Important?
Your deceased family member never leaves our care
We are among the very few funeral homes to operate our own crematory inside our clean and secure facility. By having our own crematory, we do not have to follow the other funeral homes in the area that have to contract out with crematory's like us. There is no middle man, so we are able to charge a lot less than the other funeral homes.
We cremate only one person at a time
It takes more effort to ensure that the cremation is handled with care, dignity, and high standards. To assure your loved one is being cared for appropriately, we adhere to a rigid 14 Point Pre-Cremation Checklist and involve two staff members in every cremation process.
Our staff members are certified
Our Staff are certified crematory operators. We strictly adhere to a Cremation Code of Ethics, an assurance to you of our commitment to dignity and honesty.
Understanding the cremation process
Cremation is the process of reducing the body of the deceased to fragments of bone by way of heat and flame. We prefer to say "cremated remains" rather than "ashes" because we believe that the term "ashes" can be misleading. Our funeral directors or crematory staff can explain the consistency of cremated remains in as much detail as you prefer. Our Cremation Authorization form goes into some detail in explaining the cremation process, our policies and procedures. You will receive a copy of the completed form.
