How many cremation chambers must a crematory have at minimum?

A crematory must have at least one cremation chamber to legally perform cremations. This requirement ensures that there is a designated facility where the cremation process can be conducted according to health and safety regulations. Having a single chamber allows the crematory to operate effectively while adhering to the necessary standards for handling remains with dignity and respect.

While some crematories may choose to have multiple chambers to accommodate a higher volume of cremations or to serve different types of cremation requests, the minimum requirement is a single chamber. It is important for a crematory to maintain compliance with state regulations and industry standards, which govern the operation and management of such facilities.
