The cremation process takes anywhere between 2 – 4 hours. The process depends on several factors.

LA Cremation does not offer this service, however, our sister company Rice Mortuary can help you with this type of cremation services.

We will need to obtain the causes of death and a signature from your loved one’s doctor. We will also need to obtain a permit from the county of Los Angeles in order to do the cremation. These steps typically take several days so we need to schedule accordingly. Should you need the cremation to be completed sooner we offer an expedited cremation service within 3-5 business days at an added cost. Our sister company Rice Mortuary offers expedited cremation in 2-3 business days.

We have developed the most rigorous set of operating policies and procedures in order to maximize our level of quality and minimize the potential for human error. Positive identification of the deceased is assured throughout each stage of the cremation process. We only allow certified professionals to operate our cremation equipment.
