It is very simple to set up a crematory. There are many steps involved in cremation. These include Alkaline hydrolysis, clothing preparation, and the return of cremated remains. To learn more, read our articles on Alkaline hydrolysis and cremation, clothing preparation, and returning the cremated remains. These sections will provide an overview of the process.
Alkaline hydrolysis
In 1888, Amos Herbert Hanson discovered a method to make fertilizer from animal carcasses. By the 1990s, a commercial alkaline hydrolysis system was installed at Albany Medical College to dispose of human cadavers. It was a huge success and it was soon adopted by many institutions, including universities with donated body programs and hospitals. It was being used by the funeral business by 2011.
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 can explode or cause fire because they contain sensitive electronic parts. These devices are made from either metals or plastics so they can emit infectious materials that could be dangerous to people around them. If you have any questions regarding the safe disposal of these devices or the safety of cremation, crematorium professionals can help.
Before cremation, remove clothing
It is not uncommon to ask whether a body can be cremated with or without clothes. While most materials are safe to include in the cremation, some materials might not. Your provider can advise you on what to do. Ask your funeral director for help in dressing 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.
Retrieval of cremated remains
Cremated remains often look like coarse sand and are usually gray-to-whitish. Although the final product looks like ash, these remains are actually bone fragments. The cremation process does not burn the body completely. It does, however, remove metallic material, leaving the cremated remains with a granular, grayish-white appearance. The cremains of a loved one who had an urn, or a glass container should be returned to them.
Cost of cremation
While cremation can be costly in a crematory, it is possible to reduce its cost. It is best to plan ahead and pay for your cremation services in advance. If you're not sure how to plan, you can always phone the crematory and inquire about their preplanning fees.
