Your Loved One Never Leaves Our Care

We own and operate our own crematory with licensed and certified staff.  This ensures we can manage and supervise the cremation for you.

Safeguarding Personal Identity

To ensure security, and eliminate the possibility of any error, Pines Funeral Home will place a personal identifi­cation band on your loved one at the moment your loved one is transferred to our care.

Our Unique Tracking System

At Pines Funeral Home, every person in our care is logged into our tracking system and assigned an identi­fication number, which is stamped into a stainless steel identifi­cation disc. This number is used to track every phase of the cremation process. Our tracking system includes date and time of arrival at our facility and name of the transfer technician. Personal belongings are cataloged and placed in a secure area for their return to the family.

Family Identification

Our staff will bathe and dress your loved one in the clothes provided by the family or a gown we provide. Then, we will ask you, or a representative, to positively identify him or her prior to cremation in the casket or cremation container of your choice.

Our Cremation Process

Our high standards require that two individuals will review all cremation paperwork prior to cremation. This is to ensure authorizations have been received and have been properly documented. Once all documentation is veri­fied, both staff members must sign the cremation order, prior to the cremation.

We record the name of your loved one, the date and time of the cremation, identification number, crematory operator’s name, as well as additional information regarding the cremation. Our crematory log is dated and the start time is noted and initialed by our cremation technician before and after the cremation.

The crematory documents, personal identifi­cation band and stainless steel identifi­cation disc are placed on the outside of the cremation chamber during the cremation process.

After The Cremation

After the cremation is complete, the cremated remains are placed with the stainless steel identifi­cation disc into an urn. You will be presented with an official Certificate of Cremation when you receive the cremated remains that guarantees all the above steps have been followed.

If you have any questions about the cremation process at Pines Funeral Home, or if you would like to inspect our crematory, please do not hesitate to contact us at 910-947-2224.
