Joseph P. Reardon Funeral Home & Cremation Service

Except in certain cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary however, 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.

If embalming is declined and the final disposition of the deceased is not completed within 24 hours from death, California law requires refrigeration. For health and safety of personnel and the general public and for common decency, the policy of the funeral establishment requires refrigeration of all unembalmed bodies.

There is no evidence that any casket represented as having protective features, which may include a gasket, will preserve human remains. The funeral home makes no representation or warranties about the protective value of certain caskets or outer burial containers other than those made by the manufacturer.

If legal or other requirements mean you must buy any items you did not specifically ask for, the funeral home will explain the reason in writing on the statement describing the funeral goods and services you selected.

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 restoration and rejuvenation of a Washington forest. It is an earth-friendly alternative that reduces environmental contamination and carbon emissions.
