Cremation
Natchez Trace Funeral Home and Crematory has taken the lead in making sure our profession is Certified to provide cremation services to the public. New state laws require crematory operaters to be certified to operate a crematory. The Cremation Association of North America (CANA) has been selected to provide this training and Natchez Trace Funeral Home and Crematory has offered their facilities as a central location for this training to occur on August 19, 2008. Please refer to our links on the homepage, and select the Kates-Boylston Publication link.
If you are considering cremation, there is a wide range of options available for you at Natchez Trace Funeral Home. More importantly, with the addition of cremation facility, Natchez Tarce Funeral Home is the only funeral provider in the Jackson Metro area that provides funeral, cemetery, and cremation services in one convenient location. The events in Noble, Georgia, where bodies thought to have been cremated were discovered, happened when licensed funeral homes entrusted a third party cremation provider. Natchez Trace Crematory is operated by licensed funeral directors and/or certified crematory operators. For peace of mind, your loved one will never leave our care.
If you want to arrange a direct cremation, you can use an alternative container. Alternative containers encase the body and can be made of materials like fiberboard or composition materials (with or without outside covering). The containers we provide are alternative containers and other cremation containers, including containers made of heavy cardboard, fiberboard, and other composite materials.
