One of the key benefits of choosing the California Cremation Society is our efficient transportation service. We take care of bringing your loved one from the place of death to our local facility, ensuring they are in capable and compassionate hands from the moment we receive them.

Additionally, our team handles all necessary paperwork and authorizations, including obtaining death certificates and permits. We understand the importance of these administrative tasks and ensure they are completed accurately and promptly.

At the California Cremation Society, we prioritize the care and respect of your loved one. Our refrigeration facilities eliminate the need for embalming, while our alternative cremation containers eradicate the need for a casket. We perform each cremation individually, ensuring a personalized and dedicated service.

Regarding the final disposition of your loved one's ashes, we offer two options. You can choose to have the ashes released in a basic or customized container, or you have the option to scatter the ashes in the serene San Francisco Bay near the Golden Gate Bridge. We understand the importance of honoring the final wishes of your loved one, and we are committed to helping you achieve this.

In the unfortunate event of a death occurring at a hospital, hospice, nursing home, or assisted living center, please contact the respective nurse or physician who will then arrange for us to take the deceased into our care. Alternatively, if a death occurs at home, simply dial the local police, who will determine if the coroner needs to be involved. They will then authorize us to transport the body to our facility.
