How long will it take for the cremation to take place and to receive my loved one’s ashes back?

Once the paperwork has been completed and the deceased is transferred into the care of the crematorium, it can take between 3-4 days until the cremated remains are returned back to Essentials. Once the ashes are back in our care, we will call the family to let them know that their loved one’s remains made it back safely to Essentials.
