cremation

Cremation is a process where a deceased person's body is reduced to ashes through high-temperature combustion in a specialized furnace called a cremator. The body is placed in a container or casket and heated to about 1,800-2,000°F (980-1,100°C) until only bone fragments remain. These fragments are then processed into fine ash and placed in an urn or other container for final disposition. Cremation is a widely accepted alternative to burial, offering flexibility in memorial practices and often being more cost-effective. It allows families to choose personalized remembrance options while respecting cultural or religious preferences.
