FAQ Home Cremations  

 

What do you recommend to people about leaving items of jewellery on a body?
The best advice is that jewellery should be removed after death.  Once the coffin has entered the crematorium grounds the coffin cannot be opened.  Although it is common to leave a wedding ring on, most items of value are passed on and treasured as heirlooms.
