Antwerp work is a Flanders Beleg split: ash label, crematorium street, holding bay, then euros.
A city slogan with merged ash lines is unfinished custody maths.
Large-animal aftercare near Antwerp (Inland metro, Flanders) fails on capacity and transport long before it fails on urn selection.

The decision this page must answer: Can the operator support commercial volume, biosecurity, routing, and audit-ready records?

Decision path for Antwerp: Model species, mortality volume, seasonality, storage, access, and outbreak contingencies → Review rules, veterinary instructions, zones, PPE, sanitation, and permitted paths → Price routes, emergencies, equipment, capacity, documentation, and overflow → Retain pickup logs, custody records, certificates, exceptions, and annual data
Evidence to request before committing: commercial capacity statement; biosecurity SOP; sanitation log; regulatory records; overflow plan.
