How is the cremation process accomplished?
The body is placed into a retort or cremation chamber where heat causes the body to be reduced to its most elemental state, called the cremains. Some may refer to the cremated remains as ‘ashes’ but cremains have neither the appearance nor the chemical properties of ashes, they are in fact, small bone fragments. After preparation, cremains are either placed in a permanent urn or a temporary container for transportation.
