Why is refrigeration of the remains prior to cremation necessary?
Due to the irreversible nature of cremation, most states require a waiting period before the actual process may begin. Unless a body is embalmed, refrigeration is the only alternative available that will retard tissue decomposition. Refrigeration is a necessity that protects family and friends, the crematory operator and the general public from potential health hazards. This refrigeration is provided at no additional charge to the families that we serve at Caring Cremations.
