Is there any special preparation required prior to cremation?
Any special mementos, such as jewelry, will be destroyed during the cremation process.; Anything you wish to keep should be removed before the deceased is transferred into our care. Other metals, such as prostheses, are removed after the cremation is complete and discarded in an irrecoverable manner. It is essential that pacemakers and other medical devices be removed prior to cremation. It’s also important to notify your provider as the device may rupture when subjected to high temperature, which can be hazardous to crematory staff and equipment.
