Crematorium technicians carefully check and place a name card on the Coffin before cremation takes place. Sometimes the Coffin is not placed into the cremator immediately following the service but is securely retained for a period no longer than 72 hours, in accordance with the principles and guidelines issued by the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management. It is then placed into the cremator in exactly the same condition as it was received. The body and the Coffin are then cremated. Any metals used in the construction of the Coffin or medical implants are extracted from the cremated remains and sensitively recycled. The whole process takes between 1 ½ hours to 2 hours and the cremator reaches temperatures of up to 1000°C.
The crematorium technician identifies each Coffin with a card when it arrives. This card is then placed on the outside of the cremator as soon as the Coffin is placed into it. The card stays there until cremated remains are removed and transferred to a cooling tray. The remains and the card and then moved to a preparation room where the remains are reduced to a fine consistency suitable for storage and eventual disposal. The card is then placed in the container containing the prepared cremated remains. As each cremator only holds one coffin and the cremated remains must be withdrawn before the Cremator is used again, all cremated remains are kept separate throughout the process. This guarantees that you will receive back the cremated remains of your loved one only.
