Frequently Asked Questions about Cremation
Is a casket required?
While individuals and families may choose a casket, or rent a casket for a funeral or memorial service prior to cremation, a casket is not necessary for cremation. When a casket is not chosen, the deceased is placed in a combustible, environmentally safe container for respectful handling during the cremation process.
