Description

Cremation is a form of disposition in which a body is introduced to intense heat and flame in a cremation chamber. Cremation removes all traces of embalming fluid and kills all pathogens. Once the actual cremation process has been completed, all remaining items, such as metal from clothing or jewelry, or items from prior surgeries are separated and the remaining fragments are processed into a consistent size.


Every state has its own laws concerning cremation. This form is a generic example that may be referred to when preparing such a form for your particular state. It is for illustrative purposes only.

California law does not prohibit the person authorizing the cremation from viewing the cremation process, and some facilities may be able to accommodate more than one family member. Crematories that do not allow viewing of the cremation process must disclose that fact in writing prior to signing any contract.

Flame-based cremation uses flame and heat to reduce the human remains to bone fragments, or cremated remains. This is completed within a machine called a cremator. Flame-based cremation is the most common type of cremation, and is available through most funeral homes, crematories, or cemeteries.

The cremation process will take 10-15 business days. This time frame excludes weekends and holidays and can NOT be expedited. The doctor by state law has 72 hours (three days) to sign and return the death certificate. Then the medical examiner is notified and can take up to 48 hours (two days) to approve the cremation.

How is the body prepared for cremation? Usually, the body is bathed, cleaned, and dressed before identification. There is no embalming unless you have a public viewing or you request it. Next, the technician removes jewelry or other items that you would like to keep.

Before a cremation takes place, law-abiding funeral homes require positive identification of a deceased body. This means you or a trusted family member or friend must give the funeral home consent that the body shown is, in fact, your loved one.

Burial Permits are required by California law prior to the disposition of human remains such as burial, cremation, or scattering of cremated remains. Permits may be obtained through any California licensed funeral establishment or by applying in person at our office.

Disposition of Cremated Remains: After the actual cremation, you must decide what to do with the cremated remains. Your options are burial, scattering, or keeping the cremated remains.

I request that my funeral service be private, simple and without ostentation. It is my will, and I so direct, that my remains shall be cremated and that my ashes shall be placed in an urn, which shall be inscribed with my name and the dates of my birth and death.

We use the identification provided by the facility or place of death, often a photograph provided by the family, for visual identification along with a uniquely numbered metal identification disk which is assigned to your loved one once he/she enters our care. There is a process installed with every single cremation.

A direct cremation takes place without a funeral service, at a time suitable for the funeral director. You won't be able to choose the time or date or attend. The ashes are returned to loved ones who can celebrate the deceased in the way they choose.
