Frequently asked questions
Do I have to buy a casket?
No. Only an alternative container is required by law, which is included in our price.
What is an alternative cremation container?
A fiberboard container of corrugated construction used to hold the deceased at the time of cremation. This container is required by law.
Is my loved one cremated alone?
Yes. As mandated by law, every individual is cremated individually. The process is overseen by licensed and trained staff members.
How long does the cremation process take?
While the actual process takes only two to three hours, there is a state-mandated waiting period of 48 hours before the cremation can commence.
How long will it take before the cremated remains are returned to me?
The standard timeframe is 10 days. We offer a 72 hour return option. Please see our price list for associated fees.
How many death certificates do I need?
Death certificates are used to finalize many different estate matters such as life insurance policies, transfer of title for real estate property, and closing of bank accounts. You will need one certified original death certificate for each matter. The cost of each death certificate is set by the county. The death certificate relates to the county of death and can be used anywhere in country.
Why are Brooks Cremation and Funeral Service prices much lower than other funeral homes?
Traditional funeral home pricing is regularly multiplied many times above the actual cost. We believe in a fair and more equitable pricing structure.
Is cremation socially acceptable?
Most certainly. Cremation is quickly becoming the preferred choice of many families. It offers a cost-effective alternative and it allows for a more personalized way to pay last respects.
What happens if my loved one is an organ donor?
Any coordination with tissue banks is generally done at the hospital level as time is of the essence.
Can I witness the cremation?
Yes. Our crematory provides a witness room available to family members and loved ones for an additional fee. In order to provide complete privacy for families, the entire cremation operation must run on a greatly modified schedule. A funeral director must accompany all families for witnessing.
