Cremation Association Of North America

In the Practice of Cremation, We Believe

In dignity and respect in the care of Human Remains, in compassion for the living who survive them, and in memorialization of the dead.

That a Cremation Authority should be responsible for creating and maintaining an atmosphere of  Respect at all times.

That the greatest care should be taken in the appointment of crematory staff members, any of whom must not, by conduct or demeanor, bring the crematory or cremation into disrepute.

That cremation should be considered as preparation for memorialization; That the dead of our human society be memorialized through a commemorative means suitable to the survivors.
