It is very simple to set up a crematory. There are several steps involved in cremation. For more information, please read our articles about Alkaline hydrolysis, cremation, clothing preparation and returning cremated remains. You will find the details in the next sections.
Alkaline hydrolysis
Amos Herbert Hanson developed the process for human cadavers in 1888 while looking for a way to create fertilizer from animal carcasses. To dispose of human cadavers, an alkaline hydrolysis plant was installed at Albany Medical College in the 1990s. It was a huge success and it was soon adopted by many institutions, including universities with donated body programs and hospitals. By 2011, it was used by the funeral industry.
Remove medical devices before cremation
Some medical devices, including pacemakers and ICDs that are sensitive electronic components, are not suitable for incineration at a crematory. These devices have sensitive electronic elements that could cause fire, or even explosion. These devices are made from either metals or plastics so they can emit infectious materials that could be dangerous to people around them. These devices can also be disposed of safely by cremation professionals at crematoriums.
Removal of clothing before cremation
It is not uncommon to ask whether a body can be cremated with or without clothes. Most materials can be included in cremation. However, there are some materials that might not. Your provider can help you decide what to do. Your funeral director can help you dress the deceased. Most materials are safe to include, but some synthetic fabrics might not be. You can consult a guide for cremation before you make any final arrangements.
Return of cremated remains
Cremated remains look like coarse sand, and they are often grayish to whitish. The final product may look like ash but they are actually bone fragments. The cremation process doesn't completely burn the body. The cremation process does however remove metallic material. Cremated remains will have 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. The best way to avoid paying high prices for cremation is to preplan your funeral and pay the fees before you actually need them. If you're unsure of how to plan for the funeral, you can always call the crematory and ask them about their preplanning fees.
