There are a few differences between Ohio and Georgia, when that occurred. One is that Ohio regulates crematories. Meaning there are laws that govern every crematory in this state, Georgia did not have any when that occurred. We own and operate our crematory ensuring it is functioning properly as we are required to do. We can arrange for a family member to watch the cremation if they wish to ensure. We also know the difference between ashes and cremated wood chips and cement. Our crematory is located at 5542 Butterbridge Rd NW, Canal Fulton, OH 44614.
The crematory places a stainless steel tag in with every cremation. This tag has an identification number imprinted on it, and remains with the cremains at all times. We personally deliver the remains and pick-up the cremains at the crematory.
