What factors can affect the color of cremated remains? These ashes are the remains of the deceased and can range in color from light gray to dark gray. They are made from water, carbon, and bones. Although they aren't visible to the naked eyes, dogs can smell the ashes. You or a loved-one may be considering scattering or burying the ashes. Read on to learn more.

Cremation ashes are available in various colors from light gray to deep gray

Cremation ashes can have a wide range of colors and consistency. The scientific process of cremation determines the exact nature of these ashes. For example, the cremated ashes for a dead dog might be lighter than that of a dog's, or vice versa. The cremated ashes are made up of carbon, water, and bone, and are generally light to dark gray or white in color. Cremation ashes for adults average between five and two-hundred cubic inches.

The wavelength of the light that they reflect determines the color of cremationashes. Most organic compounds have ashes that are mostly made up of metal oxides. Metal oxides can absorb a wide range wavelengths. Wood ash is dark, sacred ashes are light grey, or even gray. The gray color comes from combining white and black ashes. A specialist in cremation may be able to help you determine the exact hue.

They are composed of water, carbon and bone

The three main elements in human remains are water, carbon, or bone. Cremation of human remains results in a uniform grey-grey powder. An adult male can eat the powder, which looks like coarse sand. It can weigh anywhere from 6 to 4 pounds. It is important to note that the amount of ash produced depends on the height of the deceased. The colour of cremated ash may vary and may contain trace amounts cadmium, lead, and chromium.


All carbonaceous materials are burned off by the cremation process's intense heat. Calcium phosphates are and carbonates are also removed. This keeps the skeleton stable and durable. While most organic compounds are transformed into metal oxides, inorganic compounds are either unchanged or oxidized. Therefore, each individual's percentage of each element/compound can vary. The natural products of the cremation include ash.

They can be buried or scattered

Although ashes are a popular option for intermenting, cremation can also be an option. The ashes of cremated persons are typically buried in shallow trenches dug with a shovel, filled with the cremains, and then raked over after the ceremony. Creative scattering options include digging the name of the deceased into the soil or filling an empty space with ashes. For a more spiritual feel, place candles in the trench.

They are safe for dogs and can be smelled by them.

Pet ashes have a similar color as human ash. They are made of the exact same organic material as human ashes, are often powdery and have the same smells. Dog ashes tend to be smaller than human ones and can contain small amounts of bone or other material. Pet ashes can be purchased by you if you are concerned about their odour. You can also choose to purchase cremains that are made in a private crematory. But, there is a charge for this option. Private cremations are usually cheaper than public ones, and you will likely get more ashes if you scatter them.

Although dogs cannot smell human ashes, cats are capable of detecting them if they're trained or are kept close to the deceased. Because of how they were made, cats can't smell human ashes. If a house fire breaks out, firefighters train dogs to detect human ashes. However, it's always best to test the product on a small area first.

How To

The best way to tell a dog where it is appropriate to go to urinate.

It's essential to show your pet how they should use the toilet. It's crucial that you know how to train your pet to go outside. Here are some tips to help you teach your dog how to use the bathroom properly.

  1. It is important to start training early. If you don't want accidents during playtime, start now!
  2. You can reward your pet with food. It will increase your chances of success if you reward your pet for each successful trip to a potty.
  3. Be sure to keep treats out of the area where your dog pees. This could cause him to associate the smell of urine with his favorite treat.
  4. Before you let your dog out, ensure that there isn’t another animal nearby. Dogs who see others relieving themselves may think it's normal behavior.
  5. Be patient. Your puppy might take a bit longer to figure things out than a fully grown adult.
  6. Before you let your dog go to the bathroom, let her sniff everything. She will be more successful if she is able to smell the toilet before entering.
  7. When you are doing business, your dog should not be allowed to sit next to the toilet. This could cause confusion.
  8. Once you're finished, wipe down the toilet bowl and the floor. These areas can serve as a reminder for what to do next.
  9. All messes should be cleaned up immediately. Make sure your dog is completely clean after an accident. If he doesn't, he may try again to relieve himself.
