Let us help you to take the pressure off of your timeline with simple cremation. Choosing cremations in Centennial, CO, should be straightforward. That is why we created CremateSimply®.

What is Simple Cremation?

Simple cremation, also known as direct cremation, is where the remains of the deceased are handled via the cremation process without a funeral or other service beforehand. This can create time flexibility to hold a service at a later date. It can also be an excellent support to those who would prefer to keep things very uncomplicated at this time. The cremation process itself is a step-by-step process wherein the deceased’s remains are positively identified and are placed in a cremation container. The remains are then placed into the cremation chamber and subjected to intense heat, usually in the range of 1400-2000 degrees Fahrenheit. This incineration process is not instant. Most of the time, the process takes 90-120 minutes or more to complete. After the process is completed and the chamber cooled, the remaining bone fragments are ground into a sand-like consistency. This is what we commonly refer to as “ashes.” These ashes are placed in an urn, and the family is contacted to arrange for pick up or alternate delivery of the final remains.

What are the Benefits of Working with CremateSimply® for Cremations in Centennial, CO?

We seek to be very transparent with you at CremateSimply®. Cremations are carefully regulated by the laws with which we always comply. We can come to pick up your loved ones and keep them safe in our care for up to 72 hours before anything needs to be done. This can give you a little time to decide if cremation is right for you. If you choose to go another direction, we will transfer your deceased to another location at no charge.

All of our cremations are done in our own facilities. We do not outsource this service. Our rigorous identification process protects against human error and mistakes. We promise to care for your dead with compassion and dignity. We will ensure you receive your loved ones’ ashes at the end of the timeline upon which we agree.

Is Simple Cremation Right for My Situation?
