Sometimes things still have to be done to the bodies (like removing pacemakers, etc.).
They do everything that is needed. That should be obvious.

Two of my siblings and all but one of her grandchildren couldn't even attend my mother's funeral.

ETA: Ugh, just realized what thread this was and how this is veering from the topic. My bad.
You only mentioned COVID once. Proud of you.

So...they're licensed morticians? It's a simple question.

So it sounds either they aren't or you don't know.

Thanks!

Why on earth would you even think that I would know? Or that I would care? Or that I am going to go research something that only you seem to be interested in? There are endless flavors of crematoriums and funeral homes both - these days they can even offer similar services. Do you seriously NOT know how to use google, or a telephone??

You really ask the oddest questions.

You may find it an "odd" question but, again, it's a very straightforward one requiring a simple "yes" or "no" answer unless you don't know (another simple answer) or, for whatever reason, don't wish to answer.

As I said, I was just curious!
