Basics Concerning Pet Cremation In Denver Colorado

By Miranda Sweeney


Cremation is an old practice having been in existence since the seventeenth century. The process uses high-temperature fires to burn, vaporize, and oxidize corpses into their primary chemical compounds. The basic compounds are normally white-colored mineral fragments and gasses. Pet cremation in Denver Colorado serves as an alternative for traditional burial. It only replaces burial but not the funeral, one should know the difference.

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.

Cremators are fuelled using different fuel sources including propane, natural gas, coal gas, and oil. Coal and coke were used in the 60s and are no longer used today. Adjustable control systems on modern cremators help in adjusting temperatures and other factors on the chamber to achieve excellent results. The controls monitor the interior and are able to shut the chamber down automatically when the combustion is complete.

The body weight determines how much time it takes for the process to complete. However, with the more improved modern cremators, the activity is fast only taking one hour to cremate 45 kilos of mass. To reduce fuel consumption and time taken, the number of corpses placed in the cremator is normally high. However, it is an offence to concurrently cremate human bodies in the same chamber. Offenders are charged heavily or may have their crematorium suspended or closed down.

Once the process goes to completion, preparations for disposing or delivering the resultant ashes to the owner are made. Local dumping sites are some of the disposal areas used. Pet owners may at times request to observe the process. This type of processing is called observed cremation. Many people consider it the best way of saying goodbye and letting their company go.

If one intends to observe how their pet is cremated, then they must place the request to the management early enough. This helps the management to arrange in advance. Late requests may cause a lot of disruption because some facilities serve many clients on a daily basis. Observed processing needs to be done very early in the mornings before any other animal is cremated in the furnace.

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.
