CSNH's parent company receives
Best of NH honor
Cremation Society of New Hampshire's parent company, Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium has been selected by the Editors of New Hampshire Magazine among the “Best of NH 2008” honorees as the most Friendly Funeral Home.
“In this industry it’s difficult to earn such a distinction,” said President and Director Arthur ‘Buddy’ Phaneuf. “It’s an honor to know we’ve achieved our goal of creating a comfortable environment for people to plan ahead for their services and most importantly, for families and loved ones at their time of grief.”
A full list of the Best of NH will be in the Magazine’s July issue and will culminate with the annual ‘Best’ celebration at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester on Thursday, June 26. The event draws over 2000 people and features the ‘Best’ of the food, drink, entertainment and other services from across the Granite State.
Veterans Packages 101
Many times when a Veteran or their family plans a service, they are not aware of all the available benefits for Veterans. As a Veteran, you are entitled to full military honors and a number of options including a 21-gun salute, a burial flag, "taps" bugler, memorial monuments and possible space in the the NH State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen or the National Cemetery in Arlington, VA with a headstone or marker. The Cremation Society of New Hampshire also has a number of Veterans packages available. To learn more, visit our web site, www.csnh.com, or contact CSNH at 1-800-493-8001.

Resomation blocked by State Senate
The New Hampshire Legislature banned resomation as a viable form of disposing remains last month.
The process, which dissolves bodies using a combination of hot water and acid, was deemed illegal by the State Senate - a vote that CSNH President Buddy Phaneuf applauded.
"I am not opposed to an individual’s right to select resomation as a option if they so desire," said Phaneuf. "However, resomation was initially going to be regulated by the State just like cremation and the resomation process was already being marketed as a form of cremation that was better for the environment. But, the resomation process has very few similarities to the cremation process. I am also not convinced that resomation has any more or less impact on the environment than cremation. While the resomation process has no airborn emissions, there is a significant electrical demand to heat the water. In NH, a good percentage of our electricity is generated by coal burning plants. So, one needs to take a look at the entire resomation process from beginning to end to determine it’s true environmental impact."
