Cremation Timeline

The steps that we take in the cremation process:

• When death occurs, we go to the place of death and bring your loved one into our care.  (Immediately)
• We prepare the death certificate and submit it to the doctor's office for certification and signature. (24-48 hours, once the family has reviewed the certificate)
• Once the doctor has completed his/her portion of the death certificate, we are able to obtain our  cremation permit. (1-5 additional days, depending on how long the doctor takes to sign)
• Once we have the cremation permit, we submit the permit to the crematory, and the cremation is scheduled. (1-2 additional days)
• When the cremation is complete, we bring your loved one's cremated remains back to our funeral home the next day. (1 additional day)
