Grave concerns about the funeral industry?

Image
Recent news stories have highlighted concerns about smaller funeral directors possibly cutting corners to save costs. Due to the lack of strict regulation in the funeral industry, many Directors offer funeral care services but outsource most of their work to other companies. However, that’s not the case with us. Except for some distant transfers and extremely urgent situations, Evermore Funerals does not outsource its work . We have our own Funeral Arrangers, a skilled mortuary technician, and our own equipment, offices, and vehicles. When we promise to care for a deceased loved one, we handle it ourselves. We take responsibility for our work and pride ourselves on truly caring for the families we serve. We don’t compromise on quality behind the scenes! We are not owned by a large multinational company or conglomerate either; instead, we are owned by three Brisbane professionals who are passionate about providing affordable funeral care to the people of southeast Queensland.

Why remove PACEMAKERS before a cremation?

Most people who pass away in Australia are cremated. Currently, nearly 75% of all deceased persons are cremated. Conventional cremators (like those pictured above) operate at very high temperatures to ensure a person's remains are processed as quickly as possible. However, these high temperatures can create a safety risk if the deceased person has an implanted device which contains a battery. These devices can include pacemakers, defibrillators, and spinal stimulation (pain management) implants. When exposed to high temperatures, the internal pressure within the device itself can build to the point where it explodes within the cremator itself - damaging equipment and potentially injuring crematorium staff. Before a cremation can take place, it must be ascertained if the deceased has one of these implanted devices. If so, it will need to be removed by a professional mortuary technician or qualified embalmer. An independent doctor will also examine the deceased before they are app...

What is the difference between a funeral and a memorial service?

When it comes to funeral-related topics, there are numerous terms and phrases that may initially seem confusing. One area of confusion is the difference between a "funeral" and a "memorial". These terms are used interchangeably sometimes. However, they are not necessarily the same. Generally speaking, a funeral is a gathering where family and friends will come together to mourn, remember and celebrate the life of a person who has recently passed away. It is often a formal gathering where the coffin is present, people are seated in rows of chairs, memories may be shared (including a eulogy), and the coffin may even be conveyed outside at the end of the service. The coffin will be taken from the church/chapel for either a burial or cremation after the funeral. Sometimes, those attending the funeral will continue to gather after the service for refreshments. A memorial is often very similar to a funeral. People will gather, and memories will be shared. However, memori...

What is a Scattering Tube?

Image
What is a scattering tube? Essentially, a scattering tube is a durable cardboard tube which is specifically designed to make the scattering of cremated remains ('ashes') easier. The ashes are placed within the tube, and the ashes can be released by removing the lid and piercing the circular opening at the top of the cylinder (see picture below, where someone is about to open this circular opening with their thumb). Scattering tubes come in many colours and sizes. If the ashes need to be divided between various family members, the ashes can be split equally between smaller scattering tubes. If you'd like to know more you can visit our main supplier of scattering tubes, Final Touch, who are based in Brisbane. You can see their range on page 48 of their online catalogue here: https://www.flipsnack.com/finaltouchaustralia/keep-your-memories-close-urn-catalogue-2025-v13/full-view.html If you'd like to know how much they cost, please contact us on 07 3544 6880 or email admin@...
