EVANS CREMATION SERVICE, LEOLA

Our crematory is secure and very private.  The

Funeral Director calls the office and places the

order for a cremation.  At that time the deceased

is given an ID Tag number and the paper work

is started.  The Funeral Director arrives and stops

at the front office and gives the authorization

and permit papers to the secretary and she gives

the ID Tag and paper work for the crematory

operator.  The Funeral Director backs into the

the unloading area.  There the deceased is

properly ID Tagged and is ready for the

cremation to begin.  In PA. the stack of the

crematory has to be preheated to 1800 degrees

before the actual cremation process can begin.

Once the after burner (stack) is 1800 degrees,

the deceased will be rolled into the main burner

and the cremation process will begin.  The main

chamber burns at 1600 degrees.   Our precision  

machines are maintained regularly by us and

serviced one time a year by the manufacturer.

Both machines are regulated and inspected by the PA Department of Environmental Protection

to ensure proper functioning and to prevent the escape of dangerous fumes and chemicals into

the atmosphere.  We are a member of CANA (Cremation Association of North America) and

our technicians are CANA certified.  We welcome visitors, just stop at the office, tell the

secretary you would like to see the crematory and she will get a technician to show you around.

This is our newest retort at the Leola Location.  This is like the one we have at the Scheafferstown location.  We started this unit in August of 2008.
