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. Crematoria take great care to maintain the identity of the remains from as soon as the coffin arrives at the chapel.

What are cremation forms or doctor’s forms?
