Cremation myths.....busted!
Many people hear different rumours about cremation.
'Do we cremate the coffin too?'
-yes we do. We dont open the coffin again once it is closed down for the final farewell at the funeral home
Do we cremate loved ones one at a time?
-Absolutely! There are strict laws in place that each individual is cremated alone, with a lot of paperwork to document every step of their journey through the crematorium.
Are the ashes we receive back those of our loved one?
-Yes! Each person in the care of the crematorium is treated individually, and they follow their own process throughout. The ashes returned to you, or your funeral director are those of YOUR loved one.
Do the name plate and the handles go in?
Yes, common myth is that the furniture on the coffin is brass, where infact, its plastic, and goes through the entire process in tact.
How long does a cremation take?
Around 90 minutes.
