But frank and honest dialogue is often precisely what is needed to put people’s minds at ease. The following guide covers some of the most commonly asked questions we get about cremation along with their answers. Are you clothed when you are cremated? Cremation of a body can be done with or without clothing. Typically, if there has been a traditional funeral (with the body) present, the deceased will be cremated in whatever clothing they were wearing. If the cremation is done right after death, then it is usually done with the deceased wearing whatever clothing they were wearing at the time they died. How long after you die are you cremated? In most cases, you will have to wait somewhere between 24 and 72 hours after death before a body can be cremated. Certain paperwork is required and may take several business days to obtain. In Canada, many provinces including Ontario require a coroner to sign off on the cremation before it takes place. Are bodies cremated one at a time? The law states that only one body can be cremated inside the chamber at a time. When a body is cremated what happens to the casket or container? A body is cremated while still inside a cremation casket or container. Can people be cremated with personal objects? If desired, it is possible for small personal objects... --- - Published: 2023-11-08 - Modified: 2025-12-06 - URL: https://cremationlondon.com/services/cremation-services/ Basic Cremation Services Direct Cremation Professional Fee $425. 00 Arrangement consultation with licensed funeral director, which may include but is not limited to coordination and scheduling of details for cremation services and administration.

There are many final resting options available when your loved one passes away, and cremation is an alternate option to traditional burial services. Recently cremation has become a popular option, but there still may be some confusion as to what exactly happens during cremation, what it involves and why it might be a preferred option. What is cremation, exactly? The cremation process is one where fire reduces the body of the deceased to ash and small bone fragments. The end product is collected and can be given to the family in a decorative urn of their choosing. Cremation can be a more budget-friendly option for end of life services and may allow for more service options or an extended timeline before services are held. How does cremation work? Cremation is a process of preparing the remains of a person who has died. Most people think of cremation as only the burning of a body, when in reality that is only the first part of a two-part process. Any crematorium in Ontario built after 1998 must have a CEMS (Continuous Emission Monitoring System) installed to monitor emissions. The minimum temperature for cremation in Ontario is 1800 F. What is left behind is the bones of the deceased. The second part of the cremation process is that the bones are then placed in a processor where they are ground down to the consistency of granular. So, what we commonly call a person’s ashes, are not technically ashes at all... --- - Published: 2023-04-11 - Modified: 2024-01-11 - URL: https://cremationlondon.com/obituaries-condolences/ Obituaries & Condolences Search for: Donald “Don” SlivaSLIVA, Donald “Don”... Don passed away quietly and peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family on Friday, February 20, 2026 at Parkwood Institute, London, in his 81st year. He was the beloved husband of the late Evelyn (nee Leclair) Sliva (2011). Loving and cherished father of Sandra Macey (Don). Adored grandpa of Jarrett. Dear brother of Gerald (Cecilia), Barbara (Bruce), Margaret (Steve), Jim (Shannon) and John (Darlene). Don will also be missed by his nieces, nephews and extended family. Don’s happiest moments included playing cards, Sunday dinners with his family, watching his beloved sports, and spending time with his siblings, especially enjoying the Sliva Brothers annual golf tournament. We marveled at his incredible memory, and he loved to share stories of his time growing up in the prairies. Don moved to Dorchester 10 years ago after finally retiring, giving him the opportunity to spend his golden years with his family, meeting new friends and diligently attending each of Jarrett’s sporting events. Everyone at the arena and the ball diamond knew and loved Don. He was Jarrett’s biggest fan and always had a smile on his face. We would like to sincerely thank his family members for making many trips to Dorchester in the last 2 ½ years. Those visits brought incredible joy to Don and he always made certain he was well stocked to share shots with his visitors. We are also grateful to the incredible caregivers in the Palliative Unit at... --- - Published: 2023-04-11 - Modified: 2024-07-05 - URL: https://cremationlondon.com/death-has-occurred/ Death Has Occurred What to Do When Someone Dies in London & Middlesex County, OntarioWhen death occurs in Ontario, there are many decisions that must be made regarding funeral and/or cremation services.
