Cremation is a thermal process
of applied heat and dehydration that reduces the human body to its
base elements. It is accomplished in a special chamber called a
retort, this process can take several hours. The cremated remains
(often referred to as “ashes”) are called cremains and
generally weigh from 4 to 9 pounds on average.
Depending on State requirements cremains are usually enclosed in a polyurethane bag and in a container suitable for transport. Check with your provider as to what is required by State regulations. Urns, or permanent containers, can be selected and purchased separately if desired. (Artistic designs and materials vary according to individual tastes and/or final disposition requirements of the cemetery or columbarium). We would appreciate an email telling us
about your experience with this site and or our provider. We hope
your journey is simple, easy and comfortable to complete. |

Choices for disposition
of cremated remains include:
BURIAL in cemeteries, urn gardens, at sea or at a National Cemetery for veterans and their spouses. INURNMENT in a niche of a columbarium in cemeteries, churches and other locations. SCATTERING in a memorial garden of a cemetery or church, at-sea, oover private property with permission of owner, and a host of other personal options. KEEP AT HOME in a permanent urn. This is often done with consideration for later transport and or burial. “KEEPSAKES” are miniature urns or pendants designed to contain a portion of the cremains while the remainder is buried, scattered or inurned. *If using a private cemetery,
you may need to purchase a permanent urn or vault, an opening &
closing as well a marker. |

The number of people who prefer
cremation is increasing rapidly. Recent projections by the Cremation Association of North America reflect a national average of 47% by
the year 2010. In other developed nations like Japan and the countries
of Scandinavia, percentages reach as high as 95%. Individual reasons
for choosing cremation area as varied as the alternatives. Cost
of funerals, concerns for the environment, weather constraints,
and ease of transportation to distant burial site are just a few.
But most people choose cremation for its simplicity and dignity. |
