Cremation Timeline

Steps in the cremation process:

  • We bring your loved one into our care. (Immediately)
  • We prepare the death certificate and send to the doctor for certification. (2-5 Days)
  • After the doctor completes their portion of the death certificate, we can obtain the cremation permit.
  • Once we have the permit, we schedule the cremation within the next 2 days.
  • When the cremation is complete, we have your loved one's cremated remains ready for you the next business day.


***In summary, the cremation is normally complete in about a week.

  • Many families use this time to:
  • Choose urns, keepsakes, or final resting place
  • Plan memorial service
  • Pre-arrange for surviving spouse or other family members.

***Please note:

  • These times are estimates. Doctors have 10 days to medically certify the death certificate, but most will sign within 2-5 days.
  • Once the doctor certifies, we place the order for the official certificates, which usually arrive around 2 weeks after we place the order.
  • By Texas state law, we must wait at least 48 hours from the time of death before the cremation can take place, even if we have a cremation permit.
