How can I be sure I receive the correct remains?
We have developed the most rigorous set of operating policies and procedures in order to maximize our level of quality and minimize the potential for human error. Positive identification of the deceased is assured throughout each stage of the cremation process. We only allow certified professionals to operate our cremation equipment.
What will the cremated remains look like?
The cremated remains, often referred to as ashes, will have a fine powdery texture and may range in color from white to gray. The remains are carefully placed in a temporary container or an urn of your choice and typically weigh between 4 to 8 pounds, depending on the individual. We handle the remains with the utmost respect and care.
