When you are considering cremation at Goes Funeral Care for your own future plans or those of a loved one, it is important to understand the safeguards that we have in place to maintain the integrity of the cremation process. Our detailed and well-documented process means that families can be assured that the cremated remains returned to them are those of their loved one.

At our funeral home, we have a high standard of professional ethics and detailed procedures regarding the cremation process, and we have our own flame crematory and water crematory on-site, so your loved one never leaves our care.

Multiple steps are taken to maintain an individual’s personal identity throughout the process. An identification card is placed with them the moment they are brought into our care. A funeral director and family members will review all cremation paperwork prior to cremation. Families have the option to view their loved one before cremation takes place for a final goodbye.

At the crematory, an identification band will be placed with the deceased and remains on them through the cremation process. This information will be entered into our funeral home’s records. Family members have the option to witness the beginning of cremation, or stay for the duration of the process, if desired.

After cremation is complete, the cremated remains will be placed in the urn or container that the family has selected. When it is time to return the remains to the family, we will record the name of the person receiving the remains and make a copy of their photo ID, to further ensure the integrity of the process.

With these safeguards in place, you can have confidence that at Goes Funeral Care, your loved one will be cared for with dignity and respect, and their personal identity is maintained every step of the way. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help.
