Today, modern cremation practices do not burn the corpse by flame but, instead, by intense heat that steadily diminishes the body to fine ash. Cremation occurs in a “crematorium” consisting of one or more crematory furnaces or cremation “retorts” for the ashes.
A cremator is an industrial furnace capable of generating 870-980 °C (1600-1800 °F) to ensure disintegration of the corpse. A crematorium may be part of chapel or a funeral home, or part of an independent facility or a service offered by a cemetery. Modern crematory fuels include natural gas and propane. However, coal and coke were used until the early 1960s. Modern cremators have adjustable control systems that monitor the furnace during cremation.

In all reality the staff is putting the funeral home in a horrible place when it comes time to send invoices and even more importantly when/if you choose to seek help with collections on unpaid debt.
To protect your firm from having to deal with this situation I suggest a well structured payment policy be in place and required of all staff to follow.

From Paupers to Prime Ministers, A Life in Death, is to be officially launched at a swishy event on Tuesday at City Hall. Hundreds of living people, all potential customers or possible book buyers, are expected.
