The Cremation Process
If your loved one was not in the hospital or another medical facility the police are required to come and view the body. They will arrange for transportation of the deceased to the hospital. There they will be "pronounce dead" and a physician will create the death certificate.
If the deceased was an organ donor that will be handled at this time if permitted.
The hospital staff needs to notified of where you would like your loved one to go. If you decided on Legacy Cremation Services of Nevada the hospital will call us to make arrangements to transfer the deceased to our facility.
If no prior arrangements were made with Nevada Legacy cremation services, you should call our office and we will go over all details, tell you about our services and discuss cremation costs. You will then need to tell the hospital where to send the deceased.
In Nevada you will get a call from us at Legacy you when your loved ones arrives at our facility. We can then arrange a time to go over the final cremation costs and services. We will need you to bring something that proved you are a member of the immediate family, because only a member can take charge of cremating the deceased or making final arrangements.
We will also need;
1. Their social security card to file for any benefits you may receive 2. Any military record so we can file for Veteran benefits, these include a burial in a National Cemetery and the head stone 3. Any life insurance policy information ( we will also file these papers for you)
The crematorium is where the cremation itself takes place, only one body at a time is placed in a combustible box and put into the chamber for cremation. The chambers heat and flame will reduce the body to ashes and small pieces of bone, these remains are put into a machine that grinds the pieces down to a powder. Then the ashes are transferred to an urn or a rigid container that we supply, and returned back to our facility.
Some cremations take place after the funeral and viewing. The difference would be the embalming process.
This is what happens in every cremation, all of this is included in the basic cremation costs along with the duties of the funeral director.
