Krematorium Bad Vöslau

About Krematorium Bad Vöslau

The Krematorium Bad Vöslau at Energiestraße 14 cremates deceased persons registered for cremation by a funeral director. According to its own information, it is the first privately operated crematorium in Lower Austria. The building was erected in 2014 and extended in 2018 with a farewell room. The operator is Krematorium Bad Vöslau GmbH.

How a cremation takes place

The deceased is registered and transferred by the funeral director. At the crematorium a numbered firebrick, the "identity stone", is placed in the coffin. It stays with the ashes until the end and goes into the urn with them. This means it is always clear who it is.

• Duration: the cremation itself takes about one hour at around 950 degrees. Including cooling and processing of the ashes, the whole procedure takes up to four hours.
• Coffin: a solid wood coffin is required for cremation.
• Urn: depending on the burial, a metal urn or a biodegradable urn, if desired in a decorative or outer urn.
• Items in the coffin: photos, letters, clothing or jewellery are allowed as long as they are environmentally compatible.
