On the other hand, a more comprehensive service with a few days of events includes a visitation or viewing, a funeral service in the chapel or a church building, and a graveside ceremony at the cemetery. Cremation with a memorial service can look similar. And you can even combine a funeral with cremation by choosing casket rentals.

Makeup plays a starring role at many funeral services — the last time family members will physically see their loved ones before the casket is closed. While chemical companies manufacture makeup specifically for post-mortem use, several morticians prefer to reach for over-the-counter cosmetics, with some going as far as using a special airbrush kit.

There is little to no difference between cremation for humans and for pets. Both use the same type of equipment and similar processes, and some crematoriums in fact work with both pets and humans. Give us a call at 416-259-3705 if you have any questions about what our cremation process is.

Cremation is a method of final disposition for human remains that involves the process of reducing a body to its basic elements through the application of intense heat and evaporation. The processed remains, often referred to as cremated remains or ashes, are placed in a temporary container, such as an urn, or in an urn chosen by the family. The family can then decide to keep the ashes at home, bury them, scatter them in a meaningful location, or choose alternative options such as turning them into memorial jewelry or incorporating them into other commemorative items.
