I am writing an essay, and it is about cremation and how it works. I have some general information regarding the process, however, I am wanting to know some technical information.
In the course of cremation, is it possible to cremate a body in as little as 30 minutes?
What happens if you go over the heat specified in the cremation process?
I have heard of some people in the UK who were burning multiple bodies together to save money, would this not damage the ovens?
And would the amount of time take less than a single cremation?
I await your response, and I do apologize for asking too many technical questions.
Sincerely,
Edward.
Dear Edward
Thank you for your enquiry. I am attaching some information issued by the Federation of Burial & Cremation Authorities, but in brief:
· It is not possible to cremate a body in 30 minutes;
· Multiple cremations do not occur – a cremator can only accommodate one body at a time although a large number of crematoria have more than one cremator.
Have you considered asking your local crematorium if they could give you a tour? They will be able to answer all your questions on the spot.
I hope the enclosed is of assistance. Please let me know if you require any further information.
Kind regards.
The Cremation Society of Great Britain
