Things to Consider When Looking for a Cremation Provider

Oct 14, 2019

Cremation is more popular than it’s ever been before right now. As a result, almost all funeral homes offer cremation services in Franklin, TN and other parts of the country these days. But that doesn’t mean you should trust just anyone to provide you and your family with the cremation services you need. Check out a few of the things you should consider when looking for a cremation provider below.

How long have they been providing cremation services?

Since cremation services are, as we just mentioned, very popular at the moment, there are more and more funeral homes starting to offer Franklin, TN cremation as an option for the first time. The problem with this is that these funeral homes don’t always have the experience it takes to carry out cremation efficiently. When you’re on the hunt for a cremation provider, it’s a good idea to look for one with a wealth of experience. This will ensure that you don’t have anything to worry about when cremation services are performed.

Which cremation options do they offer?

There are some funeral homes that only offer direct cremation as a viable option. This option might work for some families, but it won’t work for those who want to hold some kind of special service or ceremony for their loved ones. You should try to find a funeral home that will provide you with several different cremation packages, including direct cremation, cremation with a memorial service, and cremation with a celebration of life service. If they can’t do this, they probably aren’t the right funeral home for you.

Do they have their own crematory?

You might be surprised by how many funeral homes advertise their cremation services but outsource them to third-party cremation facilities. Some of them will even take your loved one’s body and ship it out of state to cremate them. You should not work with a funeral home that doesn’t have their own crematory and handle their own cremations. This will give you and your family peace of mind by ensuring your loved one’s body is safe and sound throughout the cremation process.

Are their crematory operators certified?

There aren’t any laws in Tennessee that say crematory operators need to be certified. But the best funeral homes go above and beyond and make their operators earn certifications from the Cremation Association of North America. By doing this, they showcase their commitment to providing excellent cremation services to families. They also put people’s minds at ease when they arrange to have their loved ones cremated at their facilities.

Picking out a cremation provider for your loved one or even yourself can be very challenging. All Franklin, TN funeral homes will say they’re up for the job, but it can be tough trying to figure out which ones really are.
