To begin with, it is probably easier to describe what cremation isn't. Cremation is not a final disposition of the remains, nor is it a type of funeral service. Rather, it is a process of reducing the human body to bone fragments using high heat and flame.

How long does the actual cremation take?

It depends on the weight of the individual. For an average size adult, cremation takes from two to three hours at normal operating temperature between 1,500 ºF to 2,000 ºF.

Begin Making Arrangements

Choose a Funeral Home: If there are no pre-planned arrangements, select a funeral home and meet with the funeral director to discuss options.
Decide on Burial or Cremation: If the deceased’s wishes are not known, the family will need to decide between burial and cremation, and the type of service to be held.
Plan the Service: Decisions include the time, date, and location of the service, selecting a casket or urn, drafting an obituary, choosing pallbearers, and deciding on the service specifics such as music, speakers, and officiants.
Veterans: Contact the Veterans Administration to check for any available benefits if the deceased was active or retired military.
