We recently loss a family member to a car accident so it was very devastating for all of us. However, we are very thankful to have worked with the National Cremation & Burial Center in Oviedo. Mr. Chris Rhodes who is the director here was very patience in listening to our family's wishes and accommodating them (even the unusual wishes due to our cultural beliefs). We also worked with Mr. Steven who was just as compassionate and helpful. Both Chris and Steven have went out of their way to make this event as painless for our family as possible. Thank...

The body is required to be inside a coffin or a combustible container.[44] This allows the body to be quickly and safely slid into the cremator. It also reduces health risks to the operators. The coffin or container is inserted (charged) into the cremator as quickly as possible to avoid heat loss. Some crematoria allow relatives to view the charging. This is sometimes done for religious reasons, such as in traditional Hindu and Jain funerals,[46] and is also customary in Japan.[15]
Funeral plants make a great substitute for flowers. Funerals often feature lavish displays of flowers, like funeral sprays. Plants will add some variety to the floral arrangements at the service. Send your plant in a beautiful condolence gift, vase, or basket for additional luster. These remembrance vases can be displayed in the recipient’s home after the funeral.Plants also last for a longer span of time than flowers do, and so the recipient of a plant can take meaningful joy in cultivating the plant and helping it grow. The best way to take care of yourself, after all, is to take care of something else.Instead of sending floral arrangements to the funeral service, you could also send sympathy gifts to the grieving person’s home. A few of our sympathy gifts that are well-suited for the home include:●       Sympathy flowers●       Sympathy plantsFloral arrangements aside, you could also send a gourmet gift basket or a remembrance figurine. Our gourmet gift baskets are decoratively packed with sweets and treats that will provide much-needed nourishment and comfort food to the bereaved. A remembrance figurine may be given as a beautiful memento of the departed person, and it’s small enough to be placed anywhere within the home, to remind them you care and support them.

Civil suits were filed against the Marsh family as well as a number of funeral homes who shipped bodies to Tri-State; these suits were ultimately settled. The property of the Marsh family has been sold, but collection of the full $80-million judgment remains doubtful. Families have expressed the desire to return the former Tri-State crematory to a natural, parklike setting.[citation needed]

In the Netherlands, the foundation of the Association for Optional Cremation[31] in 1874 ushered in a long debate about the merits and demerits of cremation. Laws against cremation were challenged and invalidated in 1915 (two years after the construction of the first crematorium in the Netherlands), though cremation did not become legally recognised until 1955.[32]
