TABO Incinerator

The Neptune Society of Riverside now uses a state-of-the-art Hovdesta model of the Swedish TABO incinerator. Neptune Society of Riverside has chosen this incinerator as a part of its commitment to providing cost-efficient and worry-free alternatives to traditional funerals.

TABO has long been the world standard for cremation incinerators. The company earned its reputation not only for innovation, but also for sound workmanship, creating state-of-the-art incinerators that last. The TABO incinerator delivered to Reykjavík in 1945 is still in use today!

In 1932 the first cremation furnace from the Swedish company IFO-verken was delivered. By 1963, Mr. Tage Borgkvist, an engineer at IFO-verken, had taken over the company and transformed it into TABO Industriugnar AB. From that time the company has led the industry in developing and implementing new cremation techniques by combining traditional methods with modern technologies.

Major advances have included multiple heating options in the G-VL, O-VL, and E-VL models (gas-, oil-, and electric-fired, respectively), constant combustion improvements, and the development of a more thorough post-combustion chamber. In 1979 a pre-heated post-combustion chamber was introduced in the VL-A model.

In 1974 TABO introduced the first electronic control system for cremation furnaces built with CMOS technology. In 1980 they introduced the first cremation furnace in the world controlled by microprocessor, and in 1985 implemented the use of lambda-sond technology, which makes it possible to adjust the process according to the oxygen level in the combustion chamber.

TABO today produces furnaces with the timeless stainless steel facades which have become a trademark of their company. They have also developed models which can be carried through a normal door and mounted on the spot, as opposed to older versions which required installation in a basement (due to gas released during the process, older versions required a large bricked chimney, while newer models have design-incorporated flues).

Neptune Society of Riverside is proud to incorporate the TABO incinerator into its process so that we may provide you the most efficient alternative to the traditional funeral.
