Cremation is performed by placing human remains in an individual cremation container or prepared casket within the cremation chamber where they are subjected to intense heat and flame. Upon completion of the cremation, all substances are consumed or driven off, except bone fragments (calcium compounds), metal and other nonhuman materials. The remains (consisting of bone fragments, metal, etc.) are then swept from the chamber. The cremated human remains will be separated from most metal and other nonhuman material(s) to which may be attached bone particles or other human residue. These materials will be disposed of by our crematory in a nonrecoverable manner. Jewelry, dental bridgework and dental fillings will either be destroyed in the cremation process or will be nonrecoverable. The cremated human remains are then mechanically processed (pulverized). Once processed, the cremated human remains are then placed in the specified urn or container provided by the next of kin or our funeral home. We at Rairigh-Bence Funeral Home & Crematory make a reasonable and prudent effort to remove and recover all of the cremated remains from the cremation chamber, processing equipment and other subsequent tools or containers. It is impossible to remove or recover all cremated remains. Some bone particles and other residue (dust) will remain on or within the equipment. It is also impossible to guarantee or warrant that some bone particles or other residue could not be commingled with those of previously cremated human remains.
Cremation typically costs one-third of the cost of a traditional burial. While it's true that cost is a big factor for many families, it's important to remember that cremation is only one part of providing meaningful end-of-life care for a loved one. Coming to terms with the death of a loved one is important and can be achieved with a memorial service . Bringing family and friends together provides everyone with the opportunity to share memories and receive support.
