The direct cremation process
Transport of the body
The body is transported directly from the place of death to the crematorium. It is placed in a simple cardboard container or in an urn chosen by the family, without the need to purchase a finished coffin.
Respect for the environment
This method is ecological:
No preservatives, such as formalin, are used.
No coffin components (nails, glue, fabric, metal) remain as residue.
Disposal of ashes
After cremation, the ashes can be:
Discounts to the family.
