What is cremation and how will it affect my funeral wishes?
Cremation is the reduction of human remains by direct flame. The process is done in the cremation chamber, also referred to as a retort. Once completed, the remaining bone fragments are reduced in size and placed in a temporary container for transportation or an urn. The selection of cremation as a step towards final disposition would not effect funeral wishes, as cremation can be done at several points in the funeral process.
