one of this week's Crematorium managers stated
I am glad the family were pleased with how things went. As far as we are concerned all went very well 
and we had no issues!
Thank you for all the information you sent through, it was of great assistance. 
We may find that this proves more popular as time goes on
Last week one Crematorium Manager said

Just to report that all was fine and dandy.  

No hiccups at all and the method of removing from the catafalque was to slide off sideways.

but despite some operator fears, the cremation time was not impeded at all.

Generated a little interest with another FD
Another FD commented this week

comments from families and Funeral directors May 2015

Dear Gordon
I wanted to let you know that my brother's burial went very well. The shroud was lovely and soft, 

great quality and perfect for the occasion and it was perfect for him. 
Your support and advice was really appreciated and I can’t really thank-you enough for giving up your time to do this.
Please feel free to use this in any publicity about your products or company.
Kind regards and best wishes,
Angie

a simple shroud is both elegant and potentially less expensive…

Thanks again for all your help. I love the shrouds. Just brilliant. 

It meant that as the twin brother of the deceased traveled to the funeral 
he was able to have his hand on his brother's shoulder throughout the shroud. 

Couldn't have done that with a coffin!

Alice's special day organised by Charlotte Graham Funeral Directors

This photo was taken in front of the catafalque at South Leicester Crematorium   

Charlotte encouraged the entire congregation to step forward and attache message tags & touch Alice!
Now again, you simply could NOT do that with a coffin  

Cremation Shrouds

All Respect EveryBody Shrouds are available for Cremation

A  special ChargerBoard as shown upright on the left of this photograph is required with built-in charger plate.

The BodyBoard is the board on the right with the tapered top to ease sliding into the built in pouch within the Shroud 

The Shrouded body is carried into the Crematorium and placed upon the catafalque.

Please NOTE the catafalque are often high and wide so 4 people are needed to lift the shrouded body - Do not pull on the handles.

 The ChargerBoard is to be given to the Crematorium Manager upon arrival who will take it through to the operating team in the rear of the crematorium and have this ready to place the shrouded body onto once the curtains have closed and the mourners have departed.

 The ChargerBoard fits neatly and perfectly flat onto the charging bier 

As you can see the staff have no need to touch the shroud as the charger works with the automated charging systems and is ideal for manual charging too.

Because Bamboo is natural its ignition rate is rather slow so as not to cause any difficulties to staff when closing the cremator door.

Recommendations: 

Very positive responses come in weekly from crematorium managers such as 

another first for two crematoriums this week and the managers stated

Extremely easy to use

Nothing to make me wince as reported back to the ICCM

Perfectly happy to use them again

We now have crematoriums using shrouds from coast to coast up and down the UK, Scotland & Wales 

Cremations have been successfully carried out over the last 10 years in many 

FT, ATI & European crematoriums 

Crematorium Manufacturers Recommendation 

One of the leading UK & Worldwide crematorium manufacturers carried out a fully supervised and controlled testing of Respect Everybody Shrouds at a municipal crematorium in the UK - they stated:

"We can confirm the Respect EveryBody Shroud presents no difficulties or challenges in its charging and during the cremation process.  The emissions data from the cremations were all within normal parameters and we would have no concerns in recommending using Respect EveryBody Shrouds in the future to any of our crematorium operators in the UK or around the world. 

"We believe these positive tests for Respect EveryBody Shrouds will open up more opportunities for more affordable funerals for the general public and are a welcome alternative to coffins."

Crematorium recommendations:

 I would have no concerns in accepting Respects Coffin-Less-Shrouds in the future 

at our council run Crematorium.

“Respects Coffin-Less-Shrouds are a welcome addition to the Environmentally Friendly 

coffins we already accept”

Hello Gordon,

I have used one shroud for a cremation yesterday.

The woman in it was 92 years old.

She was a Waldorf School teacher and worked till in her 91^st.year

We laid her in the shroud in her garden and everybody put flowers from her garden between the folds of the shroud material.

It was wonderful.
"The Town Crematorium use a Facultative-Technologies Cremator, Europe's No1"

Best regards,

Judy 

Easily transported in a Funeral Directors Hearse and customers have even transported their loved ones safely in their own vehicles for hundreds of miles to burial grounds in camper vans, private ambulances and motorbike hearse and one family chose a white van to move their loved to the Burial Ground.

"We found it easy to handle and transport without any problems" 

"we certainly would recommend it as an alternative to traditional coffins"   

Ideal for a low-impact Natural Burial or Cremation,  our Respect EveryBody Shrouds are made from 100% biodegradable Raw Un-Bleached Cotton and tightly woven to be naturally almost waterproof. The shroud is opened out X’ x X’ and a light XX mm inner-body-board XX x XXX cm is laid into a strong concealed pocket in the shroud with the deceased placed on top before being gently wrapped and held in place with four fine jute ties to ease in transport and handling. Carrying is safely controlled by four strong Cotton carrying handles designed for low level carrying. We also have a choice of Bearers depending on the weight of the deceased and these are made either from willow or ash poles with five strong jute slings or our full Willow stretcher.

The shrouded body safely rests on its inner-body-board and is lowered onto either bearer
