Burial is an inevitable process yet very few people understand it. This usually makes it harder to visualize the process and often leads to misunderstandings between the service providers and the deceased families’. Cremation is usually at a very high temperature of either 1400F or 1800F. Such a level of heat is necessary if the body is to be turned into ashes. Given the intensity of the heat, the process has to be done inside a chamber that also has to be heated before a body is placed inside. The chamber is usually fueled by natural gas or propane and other oils.
Since the body is placed in a casket, the casket will be the first to burn down followed by the body. The body first dries up, then the organs are vaporized after which the bones are calcified. During the process, the body doesn’t emit any bad smell because of the processing that destroys all the vapor and smoke. This process usually leads to the whole body being vaporized but some crematoriums keep afterburners that are used to burn the body after they come from the first burner.
The resulting remains also contain some debris such as screws, nails and other similar items. Any items that were installed in the body are also left behind. Since they cannot be given with the ashes, they are removed with magnetic fields. However other items such as pacemakers are removed before the body is inserted into the chamber. If left inside the body they could cause an explosion and damage the whole crematorium or even cause further deaths.
