Thank you for this insight as to how crematoriums work. My Mother passed away in 2011, and was cremated. We spread her ashes in a nearby forest were she and my Father used to walk quite often. My Father passed away at the beginning of this year, and was also cremated. We spread his ashes in the exact same area of the forest. They had been married just a month shy of 59 years when Mum passed away, but now they are together again. No headstones, just the trees which they loved.

After paying $10000 for my husband's funeral, I decided on cremation for me. His funeral was the cheapest casket, only about an hour of viewing for our children, a ride to the cemetery and a small graveside service. It was during Covid so only 10 of us could be there. Looking back, I wish I would have had him cremated. The cost was so great and now I think of that last time seeing him was in that casket and it is very depressing. I have told my children cremation and they can bury me in an urn next to my husband. They can take some of my ashes and spread them next to my mom and dad. I don't want them to spend so much money on a regular funeral.

My family has chosen cremation over burial. It's cheaper, and we don't have traditional funerals either. The money spent on a funeral could be used better by the surviving family members, than wasted on that. I also have in my will that I'm to be cremated as soon as possible after my death, and no funeral. Thank you for this in depth look at the cremation process.

I agree. I prefer cremation to modern burial because it leaves a smaller carbon footprint. The main reason I prefer cremation is because I would rather be remembered when I was alive not dead in a casket. Both of my parents were cremated, including my dog, and I will be too upon my death. However, I have nothing against burial if it's a natural burial. In a natural burial there is no embalming and there is no burial vaults. You get placed in a wood coffin and get buried. You don't rot forever. After about 20 years, the body is completely decomposed, returning to the soil, adding nutrients to the plants and microorganisms. That is what the circle of life is all about.

My son was cremated may he rest in peace forever, the ashes were not ground to powder like on here they were more granulated, this was in England so perhaps why though im not sure his ashes were heavy to carry he was a five 10 inches tall and heaven set not fat, i had nothing to compare the ashes with as my father was buried, my son didn’t want a burial we talked about it long before he passed over, he said he preferred it to the possibility of becoming a zombie, he was serious to. Two years later i decided i to would be cremated as he was, and my two 1st cousins did get cremated also at their wish, as we would not have anyone to tend our graves its a good idea. We bought little house in the cemetery to put their remains in, we are a small family i am now the last member as my son had no children so its fitting.

A lot of people are worried that no one will be sure they're dead before they're cremated -- and I totally understand that fear -- but if you've had an autopsy, I can promise you that you'll be dead before the cremation process begins.
We did a lot of cremations when I worked in the funeral business, for many families it was because of the costs. I retired a few years ago, I miss it, but I'm not as young as I used to be.

@@TripMX When scripture talks about the spirit of man, it is *not* some disembodied aspect as some faiths perpetuate among themselves due to a lack of understanding of the original languages used when writing the old & new testament, but is merely the breath of God that was placed within each of us. There are also references of the word inferring a rhetorical atmosphere of a situation, but it never connotates intelligence. Whenever the word is capitalized it is in reference to the third person of the Godhead, i.e. the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of the Lord not to us humans. So, when the righteous are resurrected, we will know each other face-to-face as we are/were known in the here-n-now, in whatever generation we lived.

My dad passed away 2 years ago, he chose the cremation method in his last few sentences whilst holding my hand by the hospital bed(in the Covid period; though his death was not related to it)! You see, few years before, he had seen how a body decompose on KZread and the cost of an average funeral which could put a considerable financial strain to love ones! The thought of my dad, slowly decaying under the ground with maggots eating away the flesh for a month or two in UK harsh winter, in a field far away from home; was very uncomfortable to say the least. Looking back, I was glad that he chose cremation: now, his urn is in my room and I kind of feel that he is always with me all the time! I think he wanted the best for our family, not to burden any of us with any unnecessary cost and that love will never be forgotten! It was hard loosing someone you love, but life goes on.

I am from the UK u mentioned that u have a problem with all those urns of uncollected ashes that u hold ? So what do u do with them ? The Crematoria in the UK scattered uncollected ashes on the gardens of rememberance lawns before the start of the day. Also a larger body will not cremate in 1 hour 45mins it will take longer and generally must be done in a cooler cremator.
Wow interesting stuff
Maybe the funeral homes who do burials need to take more note of people not using their services and homes going out of business. They need to cut their costs to remain a viable option for those who want burial.

Witnessed the cremation of a brother in law, was surprised when the attendant grabbed a heavy cardboard mailing tube... Took tube and rolled it under the inner liner the body was in - to lift it up and encourage flames to reach the bottom side. FYI, if you ever go to a cremation, hope it’s not the first one of the day. First one in takes over an hour and a half, the last one of the day takes 45 minutes or less.

That’s beside the ovens need to get at least 800 degrees before then body can be entered. Once the body has entered the chamber, the pressure is cracked up to incremental 1200 to 1800 degrees in matter of minutes. A proper cremation of an average person take about 2 hours, then it needs to cool down to take out the ashes.

Very interesting indeed I had always wanted to know what happens inside the cremation chamber. We in India have been cremating our dead from times immemorial. Cremation is the cleanest and best way of saying good bye to our loved ones. Yes but it is a fact that we do not put our dead into a casket, after one last look we cover the face with a white sheet and the body is placed directly on the rails and the body is pushed in. The entire process is completed in about one hour.

To me after death the sole has left the human flesh suit. Leaving behind an empty vessel that is surplus to requirement, so cremation is the most efficient method of disposal.
@charliesgrumma5388

*I think you mean "soul", sole is the bottom of your shoe. Also the most efficient method of body disposal is burial at sea or to have a school of Piranha, swine, buzzards, or some other animal or insect consume the flesh and then crush the bones into powder. Coffins and caskets are different, a coffin is diamond shaped, a casket is a rectangle box. Cemeteries and grave yards are different, grave yards are near churches, cemeteries stand alone without association to a specific church. Also urns and caskets can be purchased through Walmart and one need not go through a funeral home to bury a loved one. Every state has laws on the books concerning the handling of dead people. In my state if a loved one dies in a hospital and cause of death has been determined by a doctor you can go to the hospital morgue and pick your loved one up, put them in a casket and bury them in your family cemetery without a funeral home even touching the body. And lastly, if one decides to cremate a loved one the carbon from their ashes can be collected, put into a special press and a half carat or larger diamond can be created to keep or given to a love one to cherish.*

I worked as a bricklayer on a crematorium in Enfield England, where we had to replace the bricks in the chamber itself, it’s what’s called refractory brickwork, it was handy in the winter, working on live cremation units, we never lost any time through cold bad weather, I often had my spirit level leaning against the door when I was told another one is coming down, it was a good job but ruined when a baby was being cremated, we went outside, didn’t want to see that, but the buggers waited until we came down assuming that it was in the burner, they actually threw the tiny coffin in by hand , almost missing the opening, it was too small to use the roller trolley, it would fall off after being pushed otherwise, that was it, I jacked after that, the reason, it’s too hot to be right in front of the door, hence thrown in from the side. I learnt one thing though, if you get cremated, the last thing on earth you get is “ the push” 😂

In Japan the family accompanies the body to the crematorium and watch as the coffin is placed inside, the door closed and the flames started. Then they go back and talk, drink, et for an hour or two. Then they go back, the metal tray is pulled out and they each use these metal chopsticks to puck up a bone or two and put it in the urn. The ‘person in charge’ then pts the rest of the bones in and everybody leaves. At least that was what happened with the one I went to. The process was pretty much the same when my dog, Charlie, died.

Cremation is not for everybody, but Cremation services can be customized to include a viewing with the embalmed remains in a Cremation casket where religious ceremonies can be conducted. These services can also be conducted after Cremation has been performed. The most important thing is to recognize that the decedent was a human being, and someone's loved one at some point in time. The decedents mus be treated with dignity and respect. The funeral services must also help the survivors to face the death process, and begin the healing process to return to the process of living without the decedent!

My husband died 6 months ago. I grieved for maybe a week. Took bereavement time from work. He was cremated. I loved him yeah, but he was responsible for not keeping himself healthy (he died from diabetes complications), and not caring about our marriage or himself after his mother died 9 months earlier. If he survived, he would have been an invalid, which I would have had to car for 24/7 and quit my job for. I'm sorry he's gone, and I miss the man he used to be, not the one he became. I'm better off without having to deal with his care. God won't give you things you can't handle, so I guess that's why He took him. (Jan Griffiths).

Cremation is probably going to be the only option eventually but I wonder how many people noticed or realised that they never actually burnt the Casket along with the Body !. The Caskets/Coffins have a false floor so the body can be transferred over,they lift away the Body of the Coffin leaving the Deceased on a Board ( bottom of the Coffin ) and then the Body of the Deceased is either transferred into a Cardboard Container or they are just pushed directly into the Oven. Many Countries there are Laws about burning certain materials like Wood but in most cases it is just a case of Funeral Homes not explaining what will happen when someone is actually cremated ( This is the part where most people think about the £5000 they have just been charged for a Coffin/Casket and they now know it hasn’t been Cremated along with the Deceased ?!! ). The Coffin is really more of a Container for transport and a Way we show respect for the Deceased by purchasing the Funeral Homes Top of the range coffin but people really should be thinking about what happens to the Coffin they pay so much money for ??!!!. Burials are done differently because obviously you see the Coffin going into the ground but the Coffin is just Chipboard with a lovely veneer and they aren’t Solid oak or mahogany etc !!. Sorry but Funeral Homes are not honest with people, they do play on people’s grief….. how many people do you know who ever asked the question do the Coffins get cremated along with the Deceased ? Funeral Homes make a lot of Money
