Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Why do you have to wait 3 days to cremate a body?

Cremation takes time because in order to preserve the remains while simultaneously hitting the incineration point for the bones requires slow temperature increases. Commercially available flammable chemicals arent able to docHub the consistent temperature threshold required to fully cremate a human.

How long after someone dies can you cremate them?

In most cases, you will have to wait somewhere between 24 and 72 hours after death before a body can be cremated. Certain paperwork is required and may take several business days to obtain. In Canada, many provinces including Ontario require a coroner to sign off on the cremation before it takes place.
