The Process of Cremation
Ok, so here's what I have to look forward to if I choose to be cremated:
1) I will be transported to a cremation facility, where I will be kept in a fridge for 24 to 48 hours.
2) When it is time for cremation, my body will be placed in a cremation container, then into the cremation chamber (like a big kiln). The process will take 2 to 3 hours, at a temperature between 1400 and 2100 Degrees Fahrenheit.
3) After the firing is over my remains are collected from the chamber. A small amount will be left inside the chamber, and subsequently mingled with the next body to be cremated.... I see a peice coming out of that.
4) My cremated remains are then processed to a consistent size (which means my bones are put in a blender type machine and ground to ashes, which usually weigh several lbs. and take up 150-200 cubic inches.
5) The processed ashes are put into a plastic container. I will be making my own urn for them to be placed in afterwards.
The entire process will take 3 to 5 hours.
