This an interesting read from our friends at Loughborough Crematorium

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Do6PeYijp/

This weeks FAQ is:

❓ What happens to replacement joints and surgical implants following a cremation?

Something many people may not know is that at Loughborough Crematorium, we take part in a specialist metal recycling initiative.

Following a cremation, any remaining metals such as replacement joints, screws, pins and plates can be carefully recycled. The metals are sorted and repurposed into new raw materials, helping to reduce waste and lessen the need for newly sourced metals, making the process both environmentally responsible and sustainable.

The proceeds generated through this initiative are then donated to a number of worthwhile charities, including one very close to our heart, Rainbows Hospice.

Families also have the option to request that these items are returned alongside the ashes of their loved one, should they wish.

We understand there are many parts of the cremation process people may not be aware of, and we hope some of our FAQs help provide reassurance and understanding 🌿

If there is something you would like to ask for one of our future FAQ posts please do let us know.

Are you considering direct cremation?
They seem like a great idea - but what about those you leave behind?
No chance to say goodbye, no idea where or when the cremation will take place.
At Gamble & Sons we have taken a different approach to direct cremation. You or your loved one will be collected respectfully, you can come and pay your respects in our chapel of rest. There will be a proper coffin rather than a chipboard box. You will be informed when the cremation will take place and transported in our hearse to our local Crematorium with all the dignity and respect we show to all our families. There will just be no service or attendees.
Please contact us for more information.
