Our Services offered at Aftercare Cremation

Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one.  When death occurs, there are many details to tend to.  It is our goal to make this as simple and easy as possible.

All arrangements are done by telephone and email.  You will speak with a knowledgeable Funeral Director or Arranger in order to complete all the necessary paperwork. 

CREMATION AND FINAL DISPOSITION

After we have received your loved one into our care, the legal next-of-kin must complete paperwork so that we can complete the Death Certificate, have it signed by the attending Physician/Medical Examiner, register it with the State of California, and then file it with the County Health Department where the death occurred.  Once the Death Certificate has been filed, the permit has been received, and payment has been rendered, then cremation can take place.

Cremation is usually complete within 7-10 business days.  Your loved ones cremated remains will come from our crematory in a basic plastic urn, which is suitable for transporting and final disposition.  We have additional urns available for purchase on our website if you so desire.

DEATH CERTIFICATES

You will be asked about the number of certified copies of the Death Certificate you will need in order to handle all of your loved ones final affairs.  The cost for certified copies of a death certificate are $24.00 each.  You will need a copy of the Death Certificate for legal proof of death, for claiming life insurance benefits, for most financial institutions and/or for transferring title to a property.  You many also order additional copies in the future should the need arise.
