Maine Cremation Services: Cremation Basics, Brewer, Maine
Description
Cremation Basics offers one specific type of service -- Simple Cremation. A simple cremation is cremation without viewing or ceremony where the deceased is removed from the place of death and held for a period of 48 hours, mandated by the state of Maine. During this time period, required certification is secured and filed with the state. The deceased is placed in a cremation container constructed of cardboard, one that meets the minimum requirements of the state, and is then transported to the local crematory in Bangor. Once the cremation process is complete, the remains are returned to a designated person or cemetery. We suggest that families choosing to view prior to cremation, do so before initial transfer is made from the place of death.
Our mission is to meet the changing needs of consumers by offering a simple, affordable and specific option to traditional funeral services and to provide our service in a professional, dignified and understanding manner.
At the center is an urn that gives us a defined focus of simplicity with a flame and a shroud that offers to the families we serve the light of eternal hope and solace at a time of vulnerability. The diamond, a sign of fortitude and importance, and the wreath, a sign of reverence and dignity, encompass all that we do. The rising sun over a pyramid reminds us of the accomplishments and greatness of our human labors in the years past yet allows us to be futuristic in our thinking with a willingness to accept changes of a new era.
