Ensuring Secure Cremation form a Trusted Provider

Oklahoma City Cremation • September 16, 2025

In recent months, news stories from across the country have highlighted practices within the funeral industry that are deeply disturbing and profoundly heartbreaking. The headlines of unscrupulous behavior, mishandled remains, and fake ashes have left many with a heavy sense of betrayal and a loss of faith in a profession built on trust.

Most recently, we've all been shaken by the heartbreaking local story of the Comer family, who were denied their mother's final wish for a traditional burial as she was “accidentally” cremated instead. This tragedy clearly illustrates the risks associated with working with a funeral home that subcontracts most, if not all, of its care to a third-party mortuary service. Due to a devastating mistake by this separate company, her body was cremated, going against her prepaid funeral arrangements and her deepest fears. This is not just a news report; it's a direct assault on the sacred trust families place in us during their most vulnerable moments.


At Oklahoma City Cremation, we want to take a moment to reaffirm the core principles that guide every single service we provide. Our purpose has always been simple: to offer peace of mind when it is needed most. We believe that trust isn't a word you put on a website; it’s a promise you live every day.


That promise is backed by our unwavering commitment to security and transparency. Unlike firms that outsource their care, we operate our own private, on-site crematorium. This means your loved one never leaves our secure care. Our exclusive SecureChain™ identification protocol, combined with HD video oversight and biometric scanning, ensures that their identity is verified and protected at every step. You can rest assured knowing that the urn you receive contains only the ashes of your loved one, handled with the utmost respect and care.


We understand that you have questions, and we encourage them. We maintain a standing Open-Door Policy, inviting you to speak with our compassionate team and learn more about our process. At Oklahoma City Cremation, our commitment is to our community. We are licensed, transparent, and dedicated to the highest standards of integrity. While the news may cause concern, please know that our dedication to your family’s peace of mind remains absolute. Our team is here to walk alongside you, offering a transparent process and the compassionate service you can truly trust.

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most profound challenges.
