FAQ

Is a crematorium the same as a funeral home?

A crematorium is a facility where cremation is carried out. Cremation is the process of reducing a body to its basic elements through the use of heat. A funeral home is a business that provides funeral and burial services to the public. Funeral homes typically have a chapel on the premises where funeral services can be held. Cremation can take place at a funeral home, but it is not the same as a crematorium.

How are bodies kept at a funeral home?

Bodies are kept at a funeral home in a refrigerated room called a morgue. The body is placed on a gurney, which is a bed with wheels, and covered with a sheet. The body is then placed in the morgue, where it is kept at a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Are a mortuary and a funeral home the same?

There is often confusion between a mortuary and a funeral home. While both establishments are responsible for preparing the deceased for burial or cremation, there are some key differences between the two.

A mortuary is typically a funeral home that is owned and operated by a licensed funeral director. A funeral home, on the other hand, is typically a privately owned business that contracts with a funeral director to provide services. In some cases, a funeral home may also own a crematory.
