Our Cremation Safeguards Process in Madison, Ohio

Every step of your loved one’s care is documented in our tracking system. Upon arrival at our facility, your loved one is assigned a unique identification number stamped into a stainless steel identification disc. This number is used to track every phase of the cremation process. Our tracking system records the date and time of arrival and the name of the transfer technician. Personal belongings are cataloged and placed in a secure area for return to the family.

Authorization and Documentation

Ohio state law requires completion of authorization forms before cremation can take place. We provide these forms and help you complete them. In addition, we ensure all permits and paperwork are completed prior to cremation. No cremation proceeds without full written authorization from the family.

Single Cremation Policy

We only cremate one person at a time, and our cremation chamber is never used for pets or animals. The metal identification tag is safeguarded throughout the entire cremation process. When the cremated remains are transferred back to your family, the metal identification tag is included inside the urn so it will never be lost.

Why Our On-Site Crematory Matters

Many funeral homes outsource cremation to third-party facilities, meaning your loved one must be transported off-site. At Behm Family Funeral Homes, our privately owned and operated crematory at 26 River St, Madison, OH means your loved one remains in our care from the moment they arrive until their cremated remains are returned to you. This provides families with peace of mind and an unbroken chain of custody. For more about our cremation options, visit our cremation services page.
