Basics Concerning Pet Cremation In Denver Colorado

By Miranda Sweeney


Cremation is an old practice having been in existence since the seventeenth century. The process uses high-temperature fires to burn, vaporize, and oxidize corpses into their primary chemical compounds. The basic compounds are normally white-colored mineral fragments and gasses. Pet cremation in Denver Colorado serves as an alternative for traditional burial. It only replaces burial but not the funeral, one should know the difference.

Cremation is a commercial business in Denver and members of the public pay a fee to the crematorium to have their dead pets cremated. The crematoriums also offer other functions such as collection of the body, delivery or disposal of ashes, and selling of urns. The fee charged is quoted depending on the number of services the crematorium does for the client.

The actual process of cremation is done inside some kind of industrial furnace called a cremator. The furnace burns at temperatures over 980 degrees Celsius for complete and proper disintegration of the corpse to be achieved. Emptying and feeding of content into the cremator is done by an operator who stays nearby during the process. Some crematoriums operate as independent facilities even though they normally form part of funeral homes, chapels, or cemeteries in most cases.

Fuelling of cremators is done using many different fuel sources such as propane, coal gas, oil, and natural gas. Coke and coal were in use in the 60s and are not used anymore these days. Modern cremators incorporate adjustable control systems for adjusting interior temperatures and other factors for achieving elegant results. The controls monitor interior conditions are automatically shut down the chamber when the process is complete.

The body weight determines how much time it takes for the process to complete. However, with the more improved modern cremators, the activity is fast only taking one hour to cremate 45 kilos of mass. To reduce fuel consumption and time taken, the number of corpses placed in the cremator is normally high. However, it is an offence to concurrently cremate human bodies in the same chamber. Offenders are charged heavily or may have their crematorium suspended or closed down.

When the burning is complete, the resultant substances are collected and prepared for disposal or for delivery to the owner. Disposal is normally done in local public dumping sites. In some cases, the owner of the animal being cremated may request to observe the process. This form of processing is referred to as observed cremation and is considered a good way of saying goodbye to a lost company.

If one intends to observe how their pet is cremated, then they must place the request to the management early enough. This helps the management to arrange in advance. Late requests may cause a lot of disruption because some facilities serve many clients on a daily basis. Observed processing needs to be done very early in the mornings before any other animal is cremated in the furnace.

The advantages associated with this process are many. First, the process is convenient and easy. All the client has to do is phone the crematorium and all activities get taken care of. The process is also cheap compared to traditional burial.
