When you choose cremation with us, you can trust in our 10-step Cremation with Confidence™ process:

1. Your Loved One Never Leaves our Care
Many other funeral homes hire third party crematories, typically located in a warehouse district. These funeral homes transfer your loved one to outside cremation services, making it impossible for the funeral home to manage and supervise the cremation.

We have our own crematory, so all your services are handled and managed by our certified staff and your loved one never leaves our care. Our crematory is reserved only for the families we serve. We don’t perform cremations for any other funeral homes.

 

2. Safeguarding Personal Identity
To ensure security, a personal identification band is placed on your loved one at the moment they are transferred to our care.

 

3. Unique Tracking System
Upon arrival, your loved one is logged into our tracking system and assigned an identification number, which is stamped into a stainless steel identification tag. This number is used to track every phase of the cremation process. Our tracking system includes date of arrival at our facility and name
of the transfer technician.

 

4. Personal Viewing Options
Various choices are available for personal identification. Prior to cremation, a special viewing room is dedicated to witness the beginning of the cremation. We can also assist in planning a viewing and funeral service for family and friends prior to the cremation. (For additional levels of service, please call Boylan Funeral Home directly at (724) 452-8005 and our staff will be happy to assist you. Additional charges will apply).

 

5. Checks and Balances
Two individuals will review all cremation paperwork and permits. This is to ensure authorizations and permits have been received and have been properly documented.

 

6. Cremation Log Book
Immediately prior to the cremation process, your loved one is taken to the cremation chamber and their personal identification is noted in our cremation log book. This log shows the name of the individual, date and time of the cremation, identification number and crematory operator’s name. Our crematory log is dated and the start time is noted and initialed by a cremation technician before and after the cremation.

 

7. Details During the Cremation
The crematory checklist, identification card and stainless steel identification tag are placed on the outside of the cremation chamber during the cremation process.

 

8. Details After the Cremation
After the cremation is complete, the cremated remains are placed with the stainless steel identification tag into an urn. The identification card is placed into our permanent files.

 

9. Return of the Cremated Remains
Our staff will notify you to schedule a time to receive the cremated remains. We can also mail the cremated remains to you. (Mailing costs will apply.)

 

10. Celebration of Life
Our funeral directors can will assist in planning a funeral or memorial service either before or after the cremation, which will appropriately celebrate the life of your loved one. A meaningful ceremony provides an opportunity for family and friends to pay tribute to your loved one and to share the memories of a lifetime. (For additional levels of service, please call Boylan Funeral Home directly at (724) 452-8005 and our staff will be happy to assist you. Additional charges will apply).
