Once you burn off all the water, soft tissue, organs, skin, hair, cremation container/casket, etc., what you're left with is bone. When complete, the bones are allowed to cool to a temperature that they can be handled and are placed into a processing machine.

It may not be the preferred means of disposing of a body for many faiths, but pretty much everyone with very few exceptions has come around to cremation being okay. The Catholic Church revised its opinion on the matter in 1963 when they said “Fine, cremate ‘em if you want, but you better bury the ashes in our cemetery” (I paraphrase) and Reform Jews have even made room for the practice, although it certainly isn’t exactly encouraged. As urban centers become more secular, the stigma associated with cremation has lessened. So far, we’re waiting for the empirical evidence that shows you will spend eternity in the cremation chamber, but so far, the only evidence we have is in Point 4. 6. Cremation is not a recent invention. Because the recent past (150 years) Western (North American) funeral tradition has been embalming/visitation/burial, the living memory is that of a country that hasn’t had the implementation of that “new fangled burning bodies technology stuff.” The reality is that cultures around the world have been cremating their dead for TENS of THOUSANDS of years (See Bowler, Hones, Allan and Thorne), making it more of a norm in history rather than the outlier. Cultures around the world have been using cremation as a means of caring for their dead for millennia. We needn’t look any further than India to see the evidence of an ancient civilization that has a tradition that endures with great reverence and purpose to this day. 7. You really do get dad back. Somehow the re has been a myth that has been perpetuated (like the notion of being buried alive) that funeral homes don’t have a vested interest in getting your loved one back to you. Let’s all become evangelical about reason people: Funeral homes really don’t want the liability of screwing up cremation, and they really didn’t know dad well enough to want to secret him away in some non-existent catacomb beneath the funeral home while they turn back cat litter to you, so that they can sit in the back room laughing about how they really did a number on that family! Suckers! You love your dad. Funeral homes don’t love his cremated remains sitting in the closet. 8. You can have cremation AND a funeral. Most people think that you must have a huge ridiculously expensive funeral service and burial, or a cheap cremation. Not so – you don’t have to choose one or the other. All the services that families have done in the past can be done for a cremation family. Funeral homes aren’t going to say “No soup for you! You chose cremation!”

It’s 6 – 8 lbs (2.5 – 3.5 kilos) of bone. If you are having a hard time imagining what weighs 6 – 8 pounds, picture a child’s bowling ball. If you are trying to picture the size of something, that 7 pounds of bone would fit in… well, a picture is more effective than “6.25 x 4.25 x 8.25” As a green funeral home owner, I do need to put my little environmental disclaimer on this. The debate that persists about how “green” cremation is, is a good one and I want it to continue. The reason being, is that green burial in a proper green cemetery is definitely better stewardship for our planet, and in my humble opinion better for families in the long run. That said, cremation’s footprint over time, is smaller than that of modern day burial. You can see my take on Carbon Accounting and Cremation v. Burial in these Undertaking posts.
