The Cremation Process: What to Expect

Cremation involves the transformation of the body into ashes through a high-temperature process. At Cady Cremation Services & Funeral Home, we adhere to the highest standards of care, ensuring that every step of the cremation process is handled with dignity and respect.

• Preparation: Our team will prepare your loved one for cremation, including washing, dressing, and cosmetizing the body.
• Cremation: The body is placed in a cremation chamber, where it's exposed to high temperatures, reducing it to ashes.
• Processing: The ashes are then processed into a fine powder, which is placed in an urn or container for return to the family.

We understand that the cremation process can be unfamiliar, which is why we're dedicated to providing clear, concise information and support throughout every step.
