Re: Corpse Cremation
No one knows that there taken out so they can re sell the coffin over & over again or not as you aren't supposed to see that part.  |

Re: Corpse Cremation
They do cremate you in your coffin and it can take anything from an hour to 3 hours depending on your size. I know this because an uncle used to do it.

Re: Corpse Cremation
They only cremate you in your coffin if you bought a wooden coffin that they can burn along with you. My Mom and most of my relatives got a cardboard box. (The kind you get cremated in, NOT the kind you live in on the street in an alley) They have regular coffins they can use for the funeral, but the bottom drops out, and the body goes into the furnace. The casket gets a new liner and gets reused for the next funeral pre-cremation. Instead of thinking of it as a "slumber receptacle", just envision it as a "quick nap-time containment unit" that only gets used for the 15 minute funeral. Like the concentration camp guards, the crematory people take out any gold teeth with pliers, and turn them over to the funeral home as part of their profit chain. When they pick up a body, they do an inspection to itemize any gold teeth that can be removed, so the boss can keep track of them, and make sure they don't disappear on the way into his bank account. When cremation is done, especially when you are NOT fully finished, they put you through a grinder that pulverizes your teeth and any remaining visible parts, so they are reduced to a uniform, grey powder that is easy to sprinkle. They don't want any loose teeth or charred toes coming out in a crust of grandpa's remains.  |

Re: Corpse Cremation
For a short period of time I serviced the ovens and afterburners at a few funeral homes. They kept a bucket to collect surgical screws, artificial hips and knees, titanium rods, etc by the grinder. One of the saddest things I ever saw was a thick metal tray they used to cremate infants. There was no significant ash left, just a bit of a baby shaped stain on the pan. Some of the grossest things was the grease traps in the older ovens sometimes overflowed from very obese bodies. And knowing the soot wasn’t dirt on your hands after working on the equipment. The afterburners kept any smoke from being expelled from the chimney stack, only clean clear superheated fumes and vapor.
