Cremation

In order to be able to proceed with cremation, the deceased must have expressed the wish to be cremated. This can be expressed:

• By putting it in writing
• by informing family members verbally
• by subscribing to an association whose statutory purposes include the cremation of its own members (e.g. Socrem).

According to the way in which the wish has been expressed, various procedures are carried out, all handled perfectly by our personnel. Therefore, you can trust in the experience and professionalism of our operators, for further information. After cremation it is possible:

• To inter the ashes in a cemetery: traditional procedure
• to deliver the ashes to a family member: the urn is kept at home
• to scatter the ashes: in a cemetery (in the communal cineraria or in the "Garden of Remembrance"); in a private area outside inhabited areas; in the environment (sea, lake, river or in the air); the ashes can be scattered in the environment only if the deceased has stated this wish (in his or her will or in a declaration to an association whose statutory purposes include the cremation of its own members), also indicating explicitly the place where the ashes must be scattered.
