Signature Services We Offer

Serving Your Family As If They Were Our Own.

John has served families for over 3 decades and realizes that simplifying the arrangement process works best for you and your family. We offer many packages to fit any budget. What makes us different: Most funeral homes may put packages together and you pay for everything in that package whether you use it or not. NOT HERE! If you choose not to use anything in the package you have selected, we will delete the cost of that item. You shouldn’t pay for something you are not going to use.

FAQs

How long does it take for a body to be cremated? ›

The cremation itself takes about three to four hours, with another one to two hours for processing. Once a body is cremated, it typically takes seven to ten days to return the ashes to the family.

What is the embalming process? ›

Embalming is the process of introducing a disinfectant solution to the internal environment of the body when someone passes away. It delays changes to the body which occur after death, giving the deceased a more restful appearance and, in some situations, removing some visible effects of the cause of death.

Why do you have to wait 3 days before cremation? ›

In addition, the wait time provides an opportunity for the body to be inspected for contagious diseases. Once these legal and health concerns have been addressed, the body can be cremated. The three-day waiting period may seem like a burden, but it serves an important purpose.

Do they remove eyes during embalming? ›

We don't remove them. You can use what is called an eye cap to put over the flattened eyeball to recreate the natural curvature of the eye. You can also inject tissue builder directly into the eyeball and fill it up. And sometimes, the embalming fluid will fill the eye to normal size.

Is blood removed during embalming? ›

To begin the embalming process, which is the removal of blood, and replacing it with a formaldehyde based fluid, a small incision is usually made on the remains right side of the lower neck. It is at this position that two of the largest circulatory vessels are located. The carotid artery and the jugular vein.

How long does a body last after being embalmed and buried? ›

For those who are embalmed and buried in a coffin, five to 10 years is a more typical decomposition timeline, he said. At that point, the tissue is gone and only bones remain. The quality of the embalming job also plays a role, Wescott said.

How soon is a body cremated after the service? ›

How soon after the service will the cremation take place? Under normal circ*mstances the cremation is carried out shortly after the service. However when a service takes place late in the day, or there is an equipment failure, the cremation can take place the next morning.

How long do cremated ashes last? ›

It would take around one million years for ashes to dissolve since they are made solely of inorganic material. When remains are placed in an urn, they are protected from oxygen and other elements that would start to break them down.

What happens to a body while waiting for cremation? ›

Preparation of the body for cremation is similar to that for burial, except that in direct cremations, the body is not embalmed. The body will be washed and dressed before being identified by the family.

What happens during the cremation of a human? ›

Cremation is the process of burning a dead body at very high temperatures until there are only brittle, calcified bones left, which are then pulverized into "ashes." These ashes can be kept in an urn, buried, scattered or even incorporated into objects as part of the last rites of death.
