Choosing cremation means opting for the transformation of the body into ashes through a regulated, respectful, and safe process. But how exactly does it happen?
Cremation is carried out in an authorised facility equipped with a specially designed cremation furnace. The entire procedure is subject to strict controls and is performed with full respect for the dignity of the deceased person. Besides being recommended for hygienic and health reasons, cremation is also permitted by the Catholic Church.
Authorisation for cremation is granted only in accordance with the expressed wishes of the deceased or, if absent, by those entitled to decide. The legally recognised ways to express this wish are:
• The deceased’s will, explicitly stating the choice of cremation;
• Membership in recognised associations whose aims include the cremation of members’ bodies;
• Declaration by the spouse or, in their absence, the closest relative;
• Wishes expressed by legal representatives in the case of minors or legally incapacitated persons.
Onoranze Funebri Biagi is available to assist you with all necessary bureaucratic steps, directly managing the requests and organisation of the cremation service in Bologna with professionalism, discretion, and respect.
How does cremation take place?
Cremation is a regulated and respectful process that transforms the body into ash through the use of a high-temperature cremation chamber (approximately 900–1000°C).
The body is subjected to combustion for a period that varies from one to three hours, depending on body size and other factors.
At the end of the process, the ashes are cooled and treated with a device that reduces them to a fine powder. The ashes are then collected in a cremation urn, which can be delivered to the family for burial, preservation, or scattering (in accordance with the applicable regulations), depending on the wishes expressed by the deceased or their relatives.
Cremation is an alternative to traditional burial, offering a dignified, safe, and respectful way of saying goodbye. It is a deeply personal choice that allows the memory of loved ones to be honoured in an intimate and meaningful manner.
