Joseph P. Reardon Funeral Home & Cremation Service

Except in certain cases, embalming is not required by law. However, embalming may be necessary if you select certain funeral arrangements such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial.

California law requires refrigeration if embalming is declined and final disposition is not completed within 24 hours from death. The funeral home's policy requires refrigeration of all unembalmed bodies for health and safety of personnel and the general public and for common decency.

The Basic Services fee includes: personnel available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; conducting the arrangement conference; planning the funeral; consulting with family and clergy; initial shelter of remains; preparing and filing necessary notices; obtaining necessary authorizations and permits; coordinating with cemetery, crematory, or other third parties; clerical assistance; and overhead including facility maintenance, equipment, inventory, insurance, administration expenses, and governmental compliance.

Terramation utilizes the body's own naturally occurring microbes to gently transform remains into nutrient-rich soil. The process is conducted in individual vessels and takes 60-90 days to complete. The resulting soil can then be returned home to be placed in cemeteries, gardens, houseplants, memorial trees, or donated to a Woodland property in Kent, WA to aid in forest restoration and rejuvenation. It is an earth-friendly alternative that reduces environmental contamination, preserves land, and reduces carbon emissions.

Aquamation is a liquid-based, non-flame based cremation process. The charge includes basic services of funeral director and staff, transfer of remains, refrigeration and custodial care, documentation, service vehicle, transfer to aquamation facility, the aquamation process, and a minimum plastic durable economy urn.
