Understanding the Cremation Process

Our on-site crematorium uses the time-tested method of reducing the body to ashes through a process of high temperature and flame.  The remains of the loved one are carefully and respectfully handled through various steps before being placed into a pre-selected receptacle, such as a family chosen urn or a temporary urn ) The cremated remains are returned to the family for further decisions about keeping, scattering or interring the remains.
