Leaders in Cremation
If you are considering cremation, please ask these two questions:

- Who owns the crematory?
At Tufts Schildmeyer, we own & operate our own state-of-the-art crematory - How can you assure me that you cremate responsibly?
At Tufts Schildmeyer, we control the entire process from start to finish and only cremate one person at a time, adhering to strict standards such as the Cremation Code of Ethics by CANA, Certified Operators, Licensed Personnel, and the encouragement of a family’s personal inspection.
