# FAQ | Inpeace

Questions? Don’t see your answer here? Reach out to us for quick help. What makes Inpeace different? We are a team of funeral directors and tech veterans who wanted to provide a different experience for anyone planning end-of-life care for their loved ones. Inpeace offers a private, online arrangement process that gives you complete control. We work with a network of likeminded funeral directors and funeral homes in New York and New Jersey to provide one consistent experience and price. What is a direct cremation? A direct cremation is an immediate cremation without any additional services or ceremonies. This option provides families with a more affordable, flexible, and simple way to honor their loved ones after their passing. How long does it take to schedule an arrangement? The Inpeace process is 5 steps in total and takes less than 10 minutes. Who can authorize a cremation? The legal authority to sign-off on the cremation of a deceased person typically follows a specific order of priority: Spouse, Adult children, then Parents of the deceased. This may vary depending on the laws of the jurisdiction. How long does the entire process take? Timing can vary based on a number of factors, but we generally advise our families that you will receive the cremated remains within 10 days. Death certificates can often take longer. Are cremations performed individually? Yes, all cremations are performed on an individual basis. When and how do I receive Death Certificates? Once we have vital information for your loved one, we file for certified death certificates with the locality where your loved one passed. These are processed and in most cases will be available with your loved one’s ashes, though they can be mailed directly to you. We generally advise 2–3 weeks. Is Inpeace a funeral home? Yes we are! We carry all the same licenses and registrations as a traditional funeral home. Our funeral home locations are at 1600 Stuyvesant Avenue in Union New Jersey and 323 Avenue U in Brooklyn New York. Still have questions? Our care team is available by phone, email, or text. We’re here to help however you’d prefer to communicate. Contact Us
