ICCFA Cremation Coaching Center coach and ICCFA College of Cremation Services instructor, Ron Salvatore has been a long time contributor to ICCFA’s educational programs. Ron, an employee of Matthews Cremation Division for 23 years, is truly an expert when it comes to crematory operator certification and environmental related matters.  Over the years, he has trained thousands of crematory personnel in the proper operations and maintenance of cremation equipment.

In addition to publishing numerous cremation-related articles, Ron is a frequent speaker at national and state industry conventions.  His presentations are full of pertinent information and always well received.  In fact, his session on zoning and equipment at the ICCFA College of Cremation Services remains one of the highest-rated portions of the college.    

We all know the importance of properly choosing a third party crematory.  One needs to have complete confidence in the crematory to avoid any possible liability. Therefore, it is your responsibility when working with a third party crematory to continually check to see that the proper paperwork is maintained and that the cremation equipment is in good working condition. 

To assist you in your inspections, Ron has developed an “Inspection Checklist When Using A Third Party Crematory".  To review the checklist, see www.iccfa.com/cremation/tools.   

ICCFA is proud to have one of the foremost experts in the cremation industry on our cremation coaching team!  If you have any questions relating to Ron’s checklist, you can post your questions directly on the cremation coaching center website, www.iccfa.com/cremation/support.
