No Drop-Off Policy
To maintain the highest ethical standards and to protect the crematory industry as a whole, Simple Cremation of New Jersey enforces a strict No Drop-Off Policy.
Our funeral directors personally escort each of the deceased to the cremation facility and do not leave before they have personally witnessed them be placed into the cremation chamber, the door closed, and the cremation process initiated.
Although no law in New Jersey mandates this, we feel we have to be able to call clients and say that we made sure the cremation took place as intended
This policy does not in any way reflect a lack of trust in the crematoriums we work with, in fact, trust is the reason we continue to work with our chosen partners. Rather it is a stand we choose to take in the face of what we consider is far too common practice for many funeral homes across the country. Namely, to call a job finished once transport to the crematorium is complete.

Commitment from professionals who understand what you are going through in such a challenging time and support in your time of grief are what have earned us the trust and respect of the people.
Transporting Cremation Remains Via Mail
Simple cremations offer the possibility for remains to be transported directly from the cremation facility to families across the United States. It is part of our standard service and we closely follow any changes in regulation with regards to shipping cremated remains.
(Currently, USPS is the only carrier authorized to do so.)
We are very familiar with their requirements and work with our partner crematoriums to make sure such precious cargo is properly dispatched. Should the remains stay unclaimed for 2 weeks, they will be returned to the crematorium who will either arrange transport once again or arrange a convenient time for you to receive them directly.

Cremation Legal Support
After a loss in the family, many legal details need to be worked out. Simple Cremation can help you navigate the list of documents and permissions required when a loved one has passed. Our staff is intimately familiar with the legal procedures you will have to go through and will walk you through them seamlessly, so you can focus on saying goodbye.
Cremation FAQ
We understand that planning a cremation is not something most people are very familiar with, nor should it be. But effectively planning a funeral naturally comes with some questions. Here are the most common questions we receive:
How long will it be until cremation begins?
New Jersey law indicates that cremation needs to take place 24 to 48 hours after the time of death. If that is not a possibility, the deceased will have to be embalmed or refrigerated.
How are remains stored?
Remains are required to be placed in an opaque, rigid container. They are usually made from corrugated cardboard or wood, depending on your instructions. The most important considerations are that the container reflects dignity for the deceased and is made of non-toxic flammable material.
How long does a cremation take?
The cremation process itself takes anywhere from 45 to 60 minutes. The remains are incinerated by flames reaching up to 2000 degrees. For safety purposes, the cremation chamber is cooled for several hours before it is opened again.
What happens to medical implants during a cremation?
Any non-metallic implants are reduced to ash during the cremation process. Any remaining implants are retrieved once the cremation process is complete and can be handed over to you at your request.
Is Cremation a Source of Pollution?
Not when the 1990 EPA act regulations are followed. The act placed responsibilities on crematoriums to minimize the environmental impact of cremations. Simple Cremation is committed to providing a cremation service that leaves a minimal carbon footprint, without compromising respect for your loved one.
Hopefully, these answers will help you become a more informed customer. If you have any more questions for us, our staff is always available to get on the phone and bring you up to speed on anything you need to know.
