| We will transport the deceased to the crematorium on the day of cremation. If you are having a funeral service the deceased will be resting in the chapel before the service begins. The ashes, depending on your wishes, can be scattered at the crematorium or returned to you. We are happy to return them to you, alternatively you can pick them up from the crematorium. |
