Crematorium start-up your business

1. Ask yourself is there a need for a local crematorium business? When you as a new crematorium owner have done your local research, you know how many yearly die in that area and choose for a cremation after death occurs. Let’s say it’s estimated 750 cremations per year.
2. What kind of local regulations are there? Do know that there are a lot of local regulations when you are considering to built a new crematorium. There building-, environmental-, health-, safety- and business regulations. Please go for this knowledge to your local town municipality. And ask them to give you all the answers to these questions.
3. Where to realize a crematorium project? As the local municipality as given you all the information that is needed, they have told you if and where you can realize your crematorium project, concerning all regulations.
4. How many cremations per year will this crematory perform? The estimated total of cremations for your crematory is based on the total deaths in that area who are choosing for a cremation on a yearly basis. Let’s say that your crematory expects to cremate 750 cremations per year.
5. What kind of cremator is needed to fulfil? Well there are three types of cremators: a cold start cremator, a hot start cremator and a fall-through cremator. There is a difference between these cremators. When your crematory is estimating to perform 750 cremations per year. The best cremator for this job will be a hot start cremation oven. When there is a other estimate let’s say 450 then a cold start cremator will be best. And when performing over 1750 cremations per year then the fall-through cremator is used. There a several cremation oven manufacturers. But we can say that the cremators from DFW Europe are worldwide the best. Due to there energy efficiency and when needed a cremation filter system.
6. What type of fuels can be used? To know what type of fuel like LPG, biodiesel is best to use is just a question of money. As a crematorium you can start here by making the best decision on saving money and being energy efficient and environmentally friendly when you are using cremation filtration. Even there are several energy storage solutions.
7. How to built a new crematorium around his cremator(s)? It’s best to built a crematorium around the cremator. So not the other way around so you should advice your architect first where to place the cremator.
8. What are your costs per cremation? The cost of a cremation can vary between $15 and $35. These price is depending on the fuel prise in that local area. Therefore we can not give you a exact cremation price.
9. Is there a maintenance contract for the cremator? Yes there are maintenance contracts for cremators these can vary by price, and will suite to the choice you have made for your cremator. The best is to take a maintenance contract with the manufacturer of the cremation oven. Then you are insured of professional technicians suitable for the job.
10. How to be a crematorium with corporate social responsibility CSR? As we all know, the environment is most important for now and the future. So therefore we advice you to become a crematorium that has corporate social responsibility. This means that your crematorium finds nature important and would like to reduce the crematory carbon dioxide that it’s producing. The CO2 foot print of a crematorium can not be reduced to zero because of the fuel that is used so there will be a CO2 foot print. But we have found innovative cremation solutions that make you crematory energy efficient. So that your crematorium CO2 foot print is much lesser then other crematories. When using a cremation filtration system the emissions are nearly zero. So you can say a funeral home & crematory director that you can perform “green cremations” and therefore have CSR.
11. How to finance a new crematorium business? First of all you need a good business plan, that shows how your crematory thinks of making a estimate turnover. When you have done all that? You can go to a local bank and ask them to give you a loan. And maybe there are local incentives from your government or other authorities?
