It is very simple to set up a crematory. There are several steps involved in cremation. To learn more, read our articles on Alkaline hydrolysis and cremation, clothing preparation, and returning the cremated remains. These sections will provide an overview of the process.
Alkaline hydrolysis
In 1888, Amos Herbert Hanson discovered a method to make fertilizer from animal carcasses. By the 1990s, a commercial alkaline hydrolysis system was installed at Albany Medical College to dispose of human cadavers. It was a huge success and it was soon adopted by many institutions, including universities with donated body programs and hospitals. The funeral industry had already started using it by 2011.
Removal of medical devices prior to cremation
Some medical devices are not appropriate for incineration in a crematory, including pacemakers and ICDs. These devices are sensitive electronic components, and can cause fire or an explosion. These devices can also be dangerous because they contain metals or plastics. Cremation professionals at crematoriums can answer any questions about the proper disposal of these devices and the safety of the cremation process.
Before cremation, remove clothing
Common questions include whether clothing is allowed on cremated bodies or not. Although most materials are safe to be included in the cremation process, certain materials might not. Your provider can help you decide what to do. Your funeral director can help you dress the deceased. Although most materials can be included, certain synthetic fabrics might not. Before making final arrangements, make sure to consult a cremation guide if you have any questions.
Return of cremated remains
Cremated remains can look similar to coarse sand. They are typically gray to whitish. These bones are not ash and look like ash. The body is not completely burned during cremation. It does, however, remove metallic material, leaving the cremated remains with a granular, grayish-white appearance. The cremains from a loved one's urn should be returned.
Cost of cremation
The cost of cremation in a crematory can be quite high, but if you're not comfortable with it, there are ways to lower the price. 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.
