In this blogg you will see our Cremation Code of Ethics. My family believes very strongly that our staff should be given a guide on how to care for the families we serve. We believe that the care of your loved one should never be left to the individual interpretation of our staff. I hope you will find this post helpful.
What We Believe...
In the practice of cremation, we believe: In dignity and respect in the care of the deceased, in compassion for the living who survive them, and in the memorialization of life.
We believe we are responsible for creating and maintaining an atmosphere of respect at all times; We believe that the greatest care should be taken in the appointment of crematory staff members, any of whom must not, by conduct or demeanor bring the crematory or cremation into disrepute.
We believe the care of the decease person and their family is of the highest priority in what we do.
And the everything will be done to treat the deceased family member with the same care and respect that we would show to a member of our own family.
We believe that cremation should be considered as preparation for memorialization; that the dead of our society should be memorialized through a commemorative means suitable to the survivors.
It is because of these beliefs We adhere to a strict Code of Ethical Cremation Conduct.

4. CREMATION OF HUMAN REMAINS Only human remains shall be cremated at our crematorium.
5. RIGHT OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO DECIDE DISPOSAL OF CREMAINS Ultimately it should be an individuals right to determine the final method of the disposal of their cremains.
