One of things people want to know is, what is the cremation process? Cremation starts with a very hot cremation chamber at a crematorium with temperatures of 1400 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. The body is burned for about two hours (sometimes more, depending on the temperature, until soft tissue is reduced to an ash-like substance and bones. The bones are further reduced so that the final effect is a very powdery substance that resembles ashes.

There are lots of reasons to talk to with a Legacy cremation consultant:

• If the environment is a factor, we’re on it. You’ll be happy to know that cremation is environmentally safe. With the Environmental Protection Act of 1990, crematoriums need to follow legislation that ensures that harmful emissions are kept to a minimum. In addition, if a burial is desired, burying an urn takes up significantly less space than a casket. And, since embalming is not done with cremation, eliminating the absorption of harmful substances into the ground and water. The cremation option is the eco-friendly option.
• Burial service or memorial service – there are lots of choices.
  • You don’t need a casket to have a burial service. This can occur when burying an urn or when having it held in a cremation garden or columbarium.
  • If a traditional viewing and burial are desired, a Legacy cremation professional can also arrange for this prior to cremation.
