We understand an individual’s soul has no beginning nor end; but the soul may pass into another incarnation after death.

We adhere to the traditional Hindu funeral— a cremation followed by the ashes being returned to a sacred river or another holy place. The cremation process releases the soul from the body, allowing it to move on to another incarnation.

Your Loved One Never Leaves Our Care

Wages & Sons own and operate our own crematory with licensed and certified staff. Many other funeral homes hire third party crematories. These often have multiple funeral homes transferring remains in and out at any given time. This makes it nearly impossible for those other funeral homes to manage and supervise the cremation as well as Wages & Sons can do for you.

Our Cremation Process

Every staff member involved with cremation at Wages & Sons is recertified every two years. Our high standards require that two individuals will review all cremation paperwork prior to cremation. This is to ensure authorizations have been received and have been properly documented. Once all documentation is verified, both staff members must sign the cremation order, prior to the cremation.

We record the name of your loved one, the date and time of the cremation, identification number, crematory operator’s name, as well as additional information regarding the cremation. Our crematory log is dated and the start time is noted and initialed by our cremation technician before and after the cremation.

The crematory documents, personal identification band and stainless steel identification disc are placed on the outside of the cremation chamber during the cremation process.
