Our Cremation Safeguards

Our Standards of Excellence

1) Your Loved One Is Cared For By Professionals

While every funeral home offers cremation services, you should be aware not all take the same care with the process. Compassion Funeral & Cremation Services has carefully designed procedures which are accountable and every step is managed by our staff.

2) Tracking System

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

3) Authorizations

State law requires completion of authorization forms which we will provide to you and help you complete. In addition, we will see to it that all permits and paperwork are completed prior to cremation taking place.

4) Our Cremation Process

We only cremate one person at a time and our cremation chamber is never used for pets and animals. The metal identification tag is safeguarded during the cremation process.

5) Transfer Back To You

The only time your loved one leaves the care of highly trained professionals is when the cremated remains are transferred back your family. The metal identification tag will be included inside the urn so that it will never be lost. The number on the tag will be part of our company’s record keeping archive.

While Compassion Funeral & Cremation Services abides by these cremation safeguards, it is important to note that we do NOT currently have a crematory but have partnered with the most well-established crematory in the Nashville area with over 22 years of providing these safeguards.

    Compassion is definitely the perfect name for Mr. Billy and Mr. Michael's service. These gentlemen are two of the most caring individuals, and this is greatly appreciated. Especially in the difficult time of dealing with the loss of a loved one. They took great care and detail in every aspect of the services they performed. they also took the extra step of help caring for our family emotionally. Our family is so very grateful for their help during such a hard moment in our life.

    I loved working with Michael and staff while planning the funeral for my brother. They really care about the families they serve. They aren't in it to oversell you on all the bells and whistles. They provide a no pressure service. I can't say enough good things about this company.

    Billy and Michael were there for my family and I when our family member passed. They are very easy to talk to and thorough with all the questions we asked as well as the ones we didn’t know to ask. You won’t go wrong with their help with your funeral needs. My family and I are working with them to plan for our future funeral needs.

    Billy and his team were wonderful for our family. He was so kind and helpful through the whole process. He even got soaked from a bunch of water dumping off the tent during the burial service and took it like a champ! Thank you so much again for all of the ways you helped us, Billy! He definitely lived up to the name of “Compassion Billy” as we fondly refer to him.

    Compassion Funeral and Cremation Services went above and beyond for my dad! Michael and Billy were awesome and very supportive of all our requests! We appreciate everything you guys did for me and my family, and ensuring my dad received the best Military tribute and send off we could ask for! Hopefully we won’t need your services again soon, but will definitely be reaching out when the need arises! Thank you so much!!
