Cremation with Confidence

1-Your Loved One Never Leaves our Care

We have strict procedures and ethics that we adhere to while your loved one is in our care, and we have a preferred crematory we know and trust to uphold these same ethical standards. As part of our procedures, one of our staff members will accompany your loved one to the crematory and will bring the cremated remains back to the funeral home. We do this to ensure that your loved one is well cared for at all times, and to guarantee that the cremated remains you receive are those of your loved one.

We will assist you in planning a Funeral or Memorial Service, either before or after the cremation, which will properly celebrate the life of your loved one. A meaningful ceremony provides an opportunity for family and friends to pay tribute to your loved one and to share the memories of a lifetime.

To ensure security, we assign identifying information to your loved one the moment they are transferred to our care.

Upon arrival, your loved one is logged into our tracking system and assigned an identification number, which is then stamped into a stainless-steel identification tag. This number is used to track every phase of the cremation process. Our tracking system includes the date, time of arrival at our facility, and the name of the transfer technician. Personal belongings are catalogued and placed in a secure area to be returned to the family.

We can provide your family with an opportunity to say good-bye to your loved one in a quiet, intimate environment. If desired, our staff will bathe and dress your loved one in clothing provided by your family prior to viewing your loved one. If your family selects this final time with your loved one, the viewing must take place within 24 to 36 hours.

Three separate parties: a Funeral Director, family member(s) and the Crematory Technician, will review all cremation paperwork and permits prior to the actual cremation taking place. 

Immediately prior to the cremation process, your loved one is taken to the cremation chamber and their personal identification is noted in our cremation log book. The log shows the name of the individual, identification number, and the crematory operator’s name. 

The crematory checklist and identification card are placed on the outside of the cremation chamber. The stainless-steel identification tags are placed with your loved on inside the cremation chamber during the cremation process. 

After the cremation is complete, the cremated remains are placed into a plastic container or urn along with the stainless-steel identification tags.

Our staff will schedule a time with you to receive your loved one’s cremated remains. At this time, we will provide a dignified setting in which to receive your loved one where you may privately spend a few moments in quiet reflection. We can also arrange a day and time to bring your loved one’s cremated remains to your residence.
