ASSOCIATION CREMATISTE DES DEUX-SEVRES

"What a beautiful end, it goes away like a cigar... ", Paul Valéry is said to have whispered during the cremation of the poet Jean Moréas in 1910. Since then, incineration, although still a minority, has gradually become common practice. Spiritual concern, moral choice, respect for the environment, the reasons for incineration are many, often very personal. The association, which is a regional branch of the French Cremation Federation (Tel. 01 45 26 33 07 - www.cremation-france-ffc.com), provides assistance to families and gives technical and legal information to people wishing to know more. It should be noted that members must make their crematist will.
