After your initial contact with us, we will make all the arrangements to promptly and respectfully transport your loved one to our facility. An Access Cremation Transfer Technician will arrive within 2 hours of your notification to take care of all your needs.

Cremation generally occurs within one week after all documents and state approvals are received. These time frames may vary based on local coroner availability, but your cremation advisor will be in touch with you throughout the process to keep you informed.

Once cremation is complete, we’ll gather your loved one’s remains, place them in the special urn you have chosen, and ship them to you. Shipping is included within the U.S. and is tracked at all times via United States Postal Service. You will be notified when your urn has shipped, and a signature will be required upon delivery.

We take special precautions to safeguard identity with a personal identification band that is placed on your loved one the moment he or she is taken into our care. Our personal identification system tracks every phase of the cremation process including name, date, time, your loved one’s personal ID number and the name of the responsible Access Cremation Transfer Technician.

We only employ certified cremation technicians who are responsible for reviewing all cremation paperwork, permits and IDs, and who sign their approval prior to cremation. Your loved one’s identification disc is also placed inside the cremation chamber during the cremation process for further positive ID.

Access Cremation’s personal identification system and secure facility provide family members with the peace of mind that we will return your loved one’s remains safely back to you.

Yes, families may be present at the cremation if they choose. Unlike many other cremation providers, Access Cremation’s facility provides a private viewing room for family members. If you choose this option, we will just need to be notified in advance.

We’re always here for you. Just contact us toll free at (800) 385-8510 to talk with a trusted Cremation Specialist.

There are many options to choose from. Ashes can be returned to you to display in an urn of your choice. They can be scattered in a place with individual meaning or at one of our scattering gardens. Ashes can also be placed in a cremation wall space or buried at one of our cemetery locations for a resting place you can visit.
