Basics About Pet Cremation In Denver Colorado

By Miranda Sweeney


Cremation has been in use since the 17th century making it a very old practice. The process involves use of high-temperature to vaporize, oxidize, and burn corpses into their fundamental chemical compounds. The compounds include mineral fragments and gasses in form of vapor. Pet cremation in Denver Colorado is preferred for disposal of bodies instead of traditional burial.

In Denver, cremation is a commercial business. People who need the services have to pay some fee to receive the service. Crematoriums also render other services like disposal and/or delivery of ashes, selling of urns, and collection of bodies. Clients pay according to the services they receive.

The actual cremation process happens in a cremator, a certain type of industrial furnace. Proper and complete combustion and disintegration of the corpse is achieved by burning the furnace at temperatures above 980 degrees Celsius. Contents are fed and emptied from the cremator by an operator. Crematoriums operate as part of cemeteries, funeral homes, or chapels although they can also be independent facilities operating on their own.

Fuelling of cremators is done using many different fuel sources such as propane, coal gas, oil, and natural gas. Coke and coal were in use in the 60s and are not used anymore these days. Modern cremators incorporate adjustable control systems for adjusting interior temperatures and other factors for achieving elegant results. The controls monitor interior conditions are automatically shut down the chamber when the process is complete.

Duration of cremation varies depending on body weight. Modern cremators are however to cremate as much as 45 kilograms of weight within an hour. To save on time and fuel, normally several bodies are fed into the furnace at once. One must however note that under most jurisdictions, it is illegal to cremate more than one human body in the same furnace at the same time. Serious charges can be made against crematoriums found doing this.

Preparations for ash disposal or delivery start to be made the moment the process completes. Disposal can be done in different places including local dumping sites. In is not rare for pet owners to request to observe how the process happens. Cremation of this type where the client observes is called observed processing. This process gives closure to clients and allows them to give final respects and say goodbye.

Clients who purpose to watch the cremation are normally asked to tell the management in advance probably at the first call. This helps with making arrangements to facilitate the same. Late requests cause much disruption to the daily routine of facilities that handle several clients in a day. Processing where the client observes is usually done the first thing in the morning before cremating other animals in the cremator.

There are many benefits associated with this process. First, there is a lot of ease and convenience in the activity. The client only has to phone the crematorium and wait for everything to done. Compared to traditional burial, this process is also cheaper.
