How Long Does Cremation Usually Take?

Cremation in the State of Colorado is a Legal Process. The whole process takes on average between 5 to 14 days. 


Ultimately our process may depend on several external factors, such as how quickly the family provides the necessary information and authorizations, the signature from the Physician who pronounced death, the Coroners Offices, etc... 


Once everything has been completed we'll schedule your family to retrieve the urn, certified death certificates and/or American Flag (if applicable) from us in person or by shipping. 


We can also arrange for burial or scattering.
