Cremation is an alternative post-mortem option instead of using a casket to bury a loved one. This option appeals to many due to the ease of body disposal, and the fact that it’s usually less expensive than traditional casket burials. Just as there is a preparation of the body for a traditional burial, there is a preparation procedure for cremations as well. The body is placed into a large furnace, or incinerator, set to approximately 1,700 degrees. Once the process is completed, the ashes are collected and added to an urn or other similar memorial container.
