Questions to Ask

At Capital City Cremation, we’re committed to transparency and quality. Our 10-Step Cremation Promise is just one way we provide peace of mind to families. Whether you’re planning ahead or arranging services for a loved one, we offer options designed around your needs.

Here are 12 essential questions to consider when selecting a cremation provider:

  1. Where is my loved one taken after passing? Unlike others who may use third-party facilities, we retain care exclusively in our own secure facility, ensuring your loved one remains in our hands from start to finish.
  2.  Do you own your crematory? We perform cremations on-site in our private cremation center, where families can attend, view, and witness in one location for added convenience and reassurance.
  3. How is identity verified? Our rigorous 10-Step Cremation Promise includes physical or photo identification to ensure your loved one’s identity, exceeding provincial requirements.
  4. Are cremations performed individually? Yes, as required by law. By operating our own crematory, we oversee every step, preserving the sanctity of the process.
  5. When does the cremation occur? After legally required paperwork is complete, we schedule promptly. With three cremation retorts, we can offer expedited services to meet family needs.
  6. Can I attend the cremation? Yes. Since we operate our own crematory, we offer attended cremation for families who wish to witness this final step.
  7. Is a casket required? A regulatory board-approved container is required. We offer a range of dignified options to suit your needs.
  8. Why do families attend the cremation? Some choose to attend for cultural or religious reasons, others for closure or peace of mind. We ensure this experience is personal and meaningful.
  9. Is embalming necessary before cremation? Embalming is not legally required but may be recommended for viewings. We guide families in making an informed decision.
  10. When will the cremated remains be available? With Capital City Cremation, remains are often ready within 48 hours, with options for pick-up or delivery for an additional charge..
  11. Do cremation societies offer lower-cost options? Cremation societies provide referrals but not services. Our direct pricing offers more value for a similar cost.
  12. Why do cremation prices vary? Service levels differ widely. For those seeking a dignified yet cost-effective option without extensive funeral home amenities, Capital City Cremation offers exceptional value.
