Disposal of Cremated Remains

There are many options for the disposal of cremated remains and some important issues.

Important notice - Crematorium regulations

It is important to note that due to cremation regulations it is the responsibility of the funeral director to ensure that materials used in a cremation will not produce pollution to the environment. This can limit some of the choices available to families for coffins and decoration.

A myth dispelled

It should be noted that cremated remains from all crematoria are NOT mixed up nor any portion thrown away. The cremation facilities are swept clean between each cremation.
