Ever wonder how dead bodies are cremated?

Before your body turns into ashes, you will be burnt inside a furnace called cremation machine.

It had to be done this way to completely dispose dead bodies.

Thats the first time ive ever seen a body being cremated. I know typically the bones dont burn so they will grind them on occasion. And from what i hear, youre likely to get remnants of other peoples ashes. I had to attach some guide wires on a smoke stack at a crematorium years ago. I was holding onto the stack to balance myself and it was still warm, afterwards i had black residue on my hands. It was eerie.

That’s super old fashioned.

I’m not sure which country this is, but I used to be an undertaker in the UK and the crematorium had very modern facilities. When I brought the paperwork in the secretary used to ask “Smoking or Non-Smoking?” meaning was the body to be burnt or buried?

You couldn’t open the door while in use as the flame they used to burn the coffin and bodies was more like an afterburner from a jet fighter.

There was a very small window which you used to see the progress of the burn, but this was already ten years ago so I’m sure things have progressed even more in that time.
