Cremation FAQ’S

What is Cremation ?

During the cremation process, intense heat reduces human remains to their original elements. Our trained staff will bring your loved one to the crematory in a cremation container. Following cremation, we will receive the cremated remains and place them into an urn that has been selected by the family. There are several options a family has in the final disposition of the remains at this point, including:

 

  • Ceremonial Scattering – Gulf or other place of importance
  • Home Memorialization
  • Inurnment – Burial or Niche
How is a Cremation arranged ?

The Cremation Regulations are complex and it is advisable for one to approach a funeral director immediately death occurs, and advise him that they wish to arrange a cremation. The funeral director will ensure that all the necessary statutory forms for cremation are obtained and presented to the Crematorium.

Is a casket needed during a Cremation?

Cremation can be undertaken by use of the wood pyre traditional method or the incinerator method. Depending on the type of cremation that you opt for, it may or may not be needed for example the traditional wood pyre method may require the remains of the deceased to be wrapped in bedsheets and then cremated please note that a coffin may be used with this method as well. On the other hand, if you were to opt for the incinerator, will also be needed for cremation

Is Embalming a necessity if Cremation is opted for?

Embalming involves the medication of human remains in order to temporarily preserve them for a longer period. In cases where the cremation is scheduled to be after a while or after a post-mortem, or if there is viewing it is usually advisable to embalm the remains. Otherwise, the cremation can takes place without necessarily having to embalm the remains. Further consultation on this with the funeral home is advised depending on the case.
