Yes, SouthCare Cremation and Funeral Society honors the deceased’s wishes for eye and tissue donation.

SouthCare is able to provide service throughout the United States in cases where burial in another state is desired. We’ll coordinate with the funeral home of your choice or assist you in finding one in the area you wish the interment to take place. Our Funeral Directors are trained to comply with state requirements for all who transfer domestically.

If the family requests to send the remains to another country for interment, SouthCare’s experienced staff is able to work with the consulate to ensure a seamless process so your wishes will be fulfilled.

SouthCare Cremation & Funeral Society serves the entire state of Georgia and surrounding areas and will handle arrangements if the passing occurs outside of the state. Additional fees may apply.

No. Urns are not required by any state or federal law; however, SouthCare has a wide selection of urns and most families choose to purchase an urn for the remains.

The remains will be handled according to your written instructions. They may be returned to your survivors, scattered at sea or over certain designated land areas, or buried at the cemetery of your choice.

We use sophisticated identification and tracking procedures including stainless steel, individually numbered identification discs and identification tags. The steel tags have our name and a cremation number stamped into them. Throughout the cremation process, the identification disc remains with the body.

Upon cremation, this steel tag is placed with the cremated remains. The cremated remains are then given to your family to be buried, scattered or kept at home. The unique identification number is listed in our files and cataloged in our databases.
