Removal of Pacemaker

Many pacemakers use a special sealant on their casing which, when exposed to extreme heat and pressure (as during the cremation process), can explode. The reason so many crematories require pacemaker removal after death is to avoid the damage caused to the crematory chamber from flying metal during the cremation process. The repairs would be extremely costly. 

At Care Funeral Services we have the skills and experience to remove pacemakers after death to avoid an explosive situation. Contact us today for more information about our cremation services or our pacemaker removal services.
