What happens to the body during the cremation process

"Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust ..."

Many, many years ago, cremation to be so unnatural and extreme that cremation societies have arisen and other stakeholders to "lobby" for a stronger practice. Health benefits have been cited as a reason to burn and organic. What about the idea of more land for the living and not so much for the dead? Just 100 years ago involved only 1% of deaths in the United States cremation.

Todayincineration is preferred by almost 50% of living Americans. There are at least 2,000 crematories in the United States and Canada, and they are a series of 1 million cremations approach. The theme "What happens with the human body that many people do not want to talk about it and yet there are many who wonder ...

I must warn you that there is some parts of this writing not be pleasant ...

About fifteen years ago I was on a "trip of a lifetime" with a group of friends,Bavaria and the Alps, the trip included parts of Germany, Austria and Italy, and I just knew that if I had Julie Andrews appeared in Salzburg, and sing to me ... Well, I have not seen and even more disappointing was the day I travel to the south of Germany. I once visited the Nazi German concentration camp on the grounds of an abandoned ammunition factory near the medieval town of Dachau, about ten miles northwest of Munich in southern Germany.

The Dachau Concentration CampCamp was the first regular concentration camp of Nazi (National Socialist) existing government. It was in March 1933. Located between that date and until the end of April 1945, more than 200,000 prisoners in Dachau. Thousands died and this had something to do with the bodies.s One of the friends on this trip was a cremation expert of current processes, the burning looked at Dachau with a different view than my military history perspective. As we looked at the "ovens" orCrematoriums, he said there, as the facial skin and the hair is the first to go as the body is pushed into the chamber. You can see it melt. Stop!

There is no comparison between the crematoria of the Nazi regime and the modern funeral home. But the crematorium at Dachau was my first experience with the "death and dying" process.

The current process begins with the pre-requirement for the individual indicating that cremation is desired. Even then signatures are neededand the process is delayed for up to 24 hours or more in most states because cremation is irreversible ... Then the funeral home or crematorium operators will be things that did not remove in order to be burned with the body, such as jewelry. It is also important at this time no powered pacemaker, defibrillator, or other internal medical device battery removed. Some of those batteries explode during cremation, if remaining spot. Although most facilities are located in a container that cremation is burnedbasically a large but sturdy cardboard cremation can take place in a cremation casket usually made of wood. Any kind of container must be able to burn easily.

Every body is burned separately from the start, then quit in order to ensure that there will be no mix named in the correct ashes for the right person.

The burning container is in the combustion chamber space of the end, by being placed on the closed door. The combustion chamber is lined with fire resistant bricks on theThe walls and ceiling and the floor is developed from a special masonry compound to very high temperatures are interpreted. The burner unit within the crematoria are usually driven with either natural gas or propane gas. Temperatures often reach the 1800 ° C - 2000 ° F range.

Depending on the size / weight of the deceased and the equipment design, it will take 1 to 3 hours for the body to completely reduced to bone fragments once cremation begins. After the burning is complete, a coolDown period is necessary before the bone fragments can be further processed. Remains after the cremation, may result from the cremator considered it to ensure that no metallic debris, such as surgical screws, bolts and / or titanium joint implants remaining to be extracted. When, just so that they will. The remaining bone fragments are then placed in a special processor, which is somewhat comparable to a larger than usual food processor or waste would be found under the kitchen sink. The processor thenpulverizes the bone fragments to a fine powder called cremains cremated (remains) or just ash.

The remains are then in a plastic bag and temporary cremation container or an urn, which is the family was made. The ashes are then returned to the family or taken to the site where the control of the prosecution is finally taking place.
