It is easy to see how a crematory operates. There are several steps involved with cremation. For more information, please read our articles about Alkaline hydrolysis, cremation, clothing preparation and returning cremated remains. This section will describe the process.
Alkaline hydrolysis
In 1888, Amos Herbert Hanson discovered a method to make fertilizer from animal carcasses. Albany Medical College had a commercial alkaline water-hydrolysis unit installed by the 1990s to dispose of human remains. The process was quickly adopted by other institutions such as hospitals and universities that have donated body programs. It was adopted by the funeral industry in 2011.
Preparing for cremation by removing medical devices
Some medical devices such as pacemakers or ICDs are not suitable to be incinerated in a crematory. These devices have sensitive electronic components and can cause fire or even an explosion. These devices, made from metals or plastics, can also release infectious material that is harmful to anyone who is near them. These devices can also be disposed of safely by cremation professionals at crematoriums.
Take off clothing before cremation
It is not uncommon to ask whether a body can be cremated with or without clothes. While most materials are safe to include in the cremation, some materials might not. Your provider can help you decide what to do. You can also ask your funeral director to dress the deceased. Although most materials can be included, certain synthetic fabrics might not. You can consult a guide for cremation before you make any final arrangements.
Return of cremated remains
Cremated remains are similar to coarse sand. They can be grayish to whitish in colour. These bones are not ash and look like ash. The body is not completely burned during cremation. The cremation process does not completely burn the body. However, it removes metallic material. This leaves the cremated remains with a grayish-white, granular appearance. If your loved one had an urn or a glass container, the cremains should be returned to the family.
Cost of cremation
It is not always affordable to have cremation done in a crematorium. But there are ways you can reduce that cost. Preplanning and paying in advance for cremation services can be a good idea. You can always contact the crematory to inquire about the preplanning fees if you are unsure how to plan your funeral.
