OverviewThe PRO50 is a cremation system designed for funeral homes that need to increase in‑house cremation capacity without adding staff. It handles up to 6 cases per day and decedents up to 1,000 lb (454 kg). The unit features a 43 in (109 cm) loading door and a front cleanout to accommodate larger cases. MPYRE® provides step‑by‑step guidance and mobile notifications so operators can monitor cycles and receive alerts remotely. MPYRE® is reported to use 50% less gas per case than the company’s previous technologies based on measurements across over 300 actual cremations (February–May 2026). The PRO50 is available in Alpine or Graphite and is built for long service life.
