Important Information About Cremation

 

Cremation is irreversible.

​

New Jersey law requires certain documentation and authorizations to be completed before cremation may take place. The death certificate must be completed, required permits must be obtained, and authorization for cremation must be provided by the legally authorized individual(s).

​

New Jersey also regulates the care of human remains prior to final disposition, including requirements concerning embalming or refrigeration.

​

Our funeral director will guide you through these requirements and explain the documents needed for your particular arrangements.

​

Other Cremation Options

 

Cremation does not prevent a family from having a traditional funeral or memorial service.

​

Families may choose a visitation, viewing, funeral ceremony, religious service, or other gathering before cremation.  When appropriate, a rental casket with an alternative container/insert may also be available for families who wish to have a traditional viewing without purchasing a casket.

​

Families may also choose to hold a memorial service after cremation.
