All-States Cremation - Littleton

All-States Cremation provides free refrigeration. Embalming is never required because refrigeration is a standard preservative, even for a long period of time. Colorado law states that a decedent must be embalmed or refrigerated within 24 hours. There are funeral homes who do not offer refrigeration, so they must charge to embalm. It’s your option to go elsewhere. How soon will the cremation be performed? There are a few mandatory requirements before a cremation may take place. Crematories must obtain an ‘Authorization for Final Disposition’ (Cremation Permit) from the county in which the death occurred, and family (or designated party) must consent to the cremation. If all authorizations are in place, All-States Cremation typically performs cremations within 3-4 business days of the date of death. Is this a cremation provider, or a funeral home offering cremation? All-States Cremation is Colorado’s oldest and most trusted remation-only provider. We have provided simple cremation with no add-ons or hidden costs to 30,000 Colorado families. We are the Cremation Specialists. Note: Funeral Homes offering cremation may have higher overhead from lavish facilities. Costly cremation and high-pressure sales tactics are common. How do we know we’ll get the right ashes? We don’t ever want you to worry about this, so we’ve created a ‘Total Transparency Cremation Promise. This promise starts the moment we remove your loved one and take them into our care, and does not end until the ashes are safely with you. Throughout the cremation process, our caring and conscientious staff adhere to our strict guidelines for identification before cremation. Each cremation is then performed individually, and with respect and care. Our promise means a worry-free cremation. Note: requiring families to ‘identify’ the deceased before cremation can be a way for Funeral Homes to intimidate families by suggesting a misidentification may have occurred. This is often just an attempt to sell additional services or viewing caskets. Do they include an urn and cremation container with the cremation? All-States Cremation includes an urn and cremation container (the container used during the cremation). Our urn can be buried, kept, or used to scatter the ashes. If you decide on something else, we carry a large selection of ornamental urns, or you are welcome to bring us your own. Note: Cremation providers usually don’t include an urn and cremation container with the cremation.

Green burials, also known as natural burials, have been growing in popularity. All-States Cremation – Littleton is one of Colorado’s few providers of environmentally-friendly burial options.
