When you call us after the death of a loved one, we take your loved one into our care in a prompt and professional manner. We make all the arrangements, starting with transporting your loved one. We also:
Prepare the paperwork pertaining to a loved one’s death, including disposition of permits and deliverance of signed and authorized death certificates.
Secure the necessary signatures and take care of filing the death certificate in the county of death.
Obtain a cremation and/or disposition permit.
File the death certificate and make it available at the local County Registrar for the family to obtain copies.
Once we take your loved one into our care, we use the Smart Assurance Identification System to ensure that your loved one is continuously monitored throughout the cremation process, all the way to the point when the cremated remains are handed over to your family.
