The Cremation Process: Dignity at Every Stage
Cremation is a choice that offers flexibility and various ways to say goodbye. To ensure maximum safety and respect, our protocol is divided into six strict steps:

Transportation and Care:
The body is transported with the utmost care to our facilities, where it remains in dignified custody until the scheduled time.
Documentation Management:
We handle all papework with the Civil Registry to obtain the Death Certificate and the necessary cremation permits.
Preparation:
Medical devices (such as pacemakers) are removed, and if the family requests, jewelry or personal belongings are recovered.
