Cremation involves the reduction of the body to its basic elements through high-temperature burning. The process typically takes 2-3 hours, depending on the size and weight of the individual.

  • Preparation: We prepare the body for cremation, which may include washing, dressing, and cosmetizing.
  • Cremation: The body is placed in a cremation chamber, where it's exposed to high temperatures (around 1400°C to 1800°C) to reduce it to bone fragments.
  • Processing: The bone fragments are then processed into a fine powder, known as cremated remains or ashes.
  • Return of Ashes: The cremated remains are returned to you in an urn or container of your choice.
