New cremation technology
is dust-and-smoke-free


Two of the major concerns in having a crematorium in the area are waste management and smoke residue. But while Peter Anthony Memorial Garden and Crematorium offers the fastest crematorium service in the world, it also ensures that the whole process is totally safe for the residents of Barangay Pulo in Cabuyao, Laguna - no dust, no smoke, so smell. This is made possible by the Portacoelli, the latest breakthrough in cremation technology.

Touted by its maker, Terra Regis technologies, Inc., as the fastest in the world, the Portacoelli, cremates human remains in 45 to 60 minutes. This is almost three times faster than other models currently in service around the country, which usually take 2.5 to 3 hours to thoroughly process one body. The Portacoelli also comes with an anti-pollution chamber where gas emission is treated so that pollutive particles are broken down completely, thus releasing only residual heat into the air.

The Peter Anthony Memorial Garden and Crematorium in Cabuyao, Laguna recently acquired a Portacoelli to provide a quality cremation service to residents south of Manila. With the Portacoelli, whose name literally means "door to heaven," Peter Anthony becomes the first to offer cremation services in the town of Cabuyao.

"Now, people from the south do not have to go all the way to Manila to avail of cremation services. With the Portacoelli, we're bringing top quality cremation services to as far as south as possible," said Ignacia S. Jose, Jr. an engineer and owner of the Peter Anthony Memorial Garden and Crematorium. According to Jose, the Portacoelli also allows them to offer people a more inexpensive alternative to burying their dearly departed. Cremation is cheaper than interment by as much as 70 per cent.
