Code Of Ethical Cremation Practices

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.
