Depending on weight, cremation takes from two to three hours.
Cremated remains resemble coarse sand. They range in color from white to gray. The remains weigh between four and eight pounds.
At the end of the cremation process, what remains are bone fragments. These bone fragments are then processed to a consistent size and placed into a temporary or permanent urn.
Cremation is simply a process of reducing the human body to particles and bone fragments using high heat and flame. It is not the final disposition of the remains, nor is it a type of funeral service.
Regulations only require a bag or box, but Cremation Society of Tennessee’s merchandise offers a variety of beautiful and affordable urns.

The Cremation Society of Tennessee met our needs as a family, in a manner that exceeded my expectations. Christopher was supportive and allowed us the freedom to design our own specific service in a manner that differs so much from the usual cookie cutter approach to funerals and memorial services.
