What is Cremation?

Cremation is the process of reducing a body to ashes through intense heat. This method has been practiced for centuries in various cultures and has gained widespread acceptance due to its practicality, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits. 

"Cremation is not the end but the beginning of remembrance, where ashes nurture the roots of memory."

The Five Basic Steps of Cremation

Identification and Authorization

• Before the cremation process begins, the deceased is properly identified. Reputable crematories follow strict procedures to ensure that they handle your loved one’s remains with care and respect.

• You’ll complete necessary paperwork, granting authorization for the cremation. This form includes details such as who will pick up the remains and the type of container to use.
