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 classified as a commercial trade. Services are rendered to public after payment of a fee. Other services are also rendered by crematoriums besides disposal of corpses. Such services include selling of urns, collection of bodies, and disposal and delivery of ashes. Services received determine how much a client has to pay.

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.

Time taken for cremation to complete varies with the body weight. However, modern cremators are faster and are capable of cremating as much as forty five kilograms in an hour. Several bodies are placed inside the furnace at the same time to cut down on fuel usage and time taken. Under most jurisdiction however, it is a legal offence to cremate more than one human body inside the same furnace at the same time. Facilities found doing this can be closed or charge heavily.

Preparations for ash disposal or delivery start to be made the moment the process completes. Disposal can be done in different places including local dumping sites. In is not rare for pet owners to request to observe how the process happens. Cremation of this type where the client observes is called observed processing. This process gives closure to clients and allows them to give final respects and say goodbye.

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.

This process has many benefits compared to traditional burial. The first benefits are convenience and simplicity. A client with a dead pet only has to call the crematorium to come and handle everything. The cost for cremating a corpse is also very low compared to that of traditional burial.
