What is cremation?

Cremation is a funeral service involving the reduction of a body to ashes using heat. During cremation, the body of the deceased is placed in a chamber heated to a very high temperature (around 800 to 1,000 degrees Celsius). This process usually takes between 1 and 3 hours.

Cremation andcremation are often confused, but they have distinct meanings, although both involve the use of heat to reduce something to ash. Both processes share the use of heat to reduce a body to ash, but cremation is specifically linked to funeral rituals and post-mortem management, whileincineration generally concerns non-human waste in an industrial setting.
