Is it true that the body will sit up because the muscles will tighten up during cremation??????
Do you return to the loved ones 100% of the cremated remains?
Thank you for this insight as to how crematoriums work.
My Mother passed away in 2011, and was cremated. We spread her ashes in a nearby forest were she and my Father used to walk quite often.
My Father passed away at the beginning of this year, and was also cremated. We spread his ashes in the exact same area of the forest.
They had been married just a month shy of 59 years when Mum passed away, but now they are together again. No headstones, just the trees which they loved.
Close Together in the Woods. That's So Nice.
Roger My Mom died in 2011 Ok 💯
All my relatives were buried in the old days but mother cremated
I believe they'll b whole again... GOD IS IN CONTROL🙏
@Aya 😂😂😂😂😂
I want this done, but be sure I'm dead first.
Lol
Same! Lol
Jaajaajaaa.
Me too
I think you deserve better than being burned. Because you are better than God's creation. Do not put yourself in a place less than what God was created for. Think repeatedly about how you want to meet God. Burnt!!
After paying $10000 for my husband's funeral, I decided on cremation for me. His funeral was the cheapest casket, only about an hour of viewing for our children, a ride to the cemetery and a small graveside service. It was during Covid so only 10 of us could be there. Looking back, I wish I would have had him cremated. The cost was so great and now I think of that last time seeing him was in that casket and it is very depressing. I have told my children cremation and they can bury me in an urn next to my husband. They can take some of my ashes and spread them next to my mom and dad. I don't want them to spend so much money on a regular funeral.
regular funeral cost 10k? so how much for cremation?

My brother's body was cremated this past October. I learned about the process. Thanks.
RIP
My deepest condolences. RIP to your brother and hugs to you.
I rather be buried so everyone can visit my grave and leave roses.
My family has chosen cremation over burial. It's cheaper, and we don't have traditional funerals either. The money spent on a funeral could be used better by the surviving family members, than wasted on that. I also have in my will that I'm to be cremated as soon as possible after my death, and no funeral. Thank you for this in depth look at the cremation process. It's not at all scary, and better than slow decay in a hole 6 feet under. (Jan Griffiths).
I am to cause God 🙏 Will be waiting on me amen
“ The money spent on a funeral could be better SQUANDERED by the surviving family members “
I agree. I prefer cremation to modern burial because it leaves a smaller carbon footprint. The main reason I prefer cremation is because I would rather be remembered when I was alive not dead in a casket. Both of my parents were cremated, including my dog, and I will be too upon my death. However, I have nothing against burial if it's a natural burial. In a natural burial there is no embalming and there is no burial vaults. You get placed in a wood coffin and get buried. You don't rot forever. After about 20 years, the body is completely decomposed, returning to the soil, adding nutrients to the plants and microorganisms. That is what the circle of life is all about.

A lot of people are worried that no one will be sure they're dead before they're cremated -- and I totally understand that fear -- but if you've had an autopsy, I can promise you that you'll be dead before the cremation process begins.
We had my mother cremated. Now every time we go on a trip to places that she loved, we take her and sprinkle some of her ashes. She’s been to Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, San Francisco, many, many lighthouses, Atlanta ocean, Pacific Ocean, blue ridge parkway, smoky mountains, and many , many more. It’s kinda like a moving memorial.
Beautiful ⚘️
You obviously did not think too much of your husband who lived with you for all of these years to cremate his body? Cheap way out!
I guess to each their own but I don't believe that's respectable those remains are the remains of your mother's head and her arms and her torso and her legs and her fingers and if you hadn't had her cremated would you be carrying around those things and keeping them in your closet and dispersing them in your Mother's favorite places dropping arm here drop her head here her feet there it's not OK remains belong kept together as whole as possible and committed to the sacred earth that's the only respectful thing to do really like I said if you use it analogy of doing it without cremation it would be horrific and out of the question well it's the same person it's the same remains just burnt
@@brianschmidt9919yea the whole thing sucks that it’s part of life and nothing anyone can do about it, so burial seems the best of the sad options. Who cares the cost it’s for someone you loved it’s the last thing and deed you’ll ever do for them. Respecting their body together as it is , showing the love you had for them
His death was extremely unexpected. He didn't tell me that he was sick. He passed away on Christmas morning 2011. I still can't believe it to this day. I miss him so much. I am glad I wasn't there to see him cremated. Taking off his ring was hard enough for me.

Both of my parents were cremated. My dad's ashes were poured into Lake Ontario because some of his fondest memories were from his days working on Great Lakes freighters. My mom's ashes are interred in the church where we grew up.

@@shannonburrell1424 Very cold up there to. Matter of fact Lake Superior's waters in the summertime is extremely cold and frigid to. When the gales of November claimed the ore carrying ship, the Edmund Fitzgerald and took her down, all 29 of the crew were lost and you could imagine that those guys died quite instantly if not by the ships destruction, probably by also freezing to death and suffocation in that cold, icy water. It also was Said that they did indeed find a crewmember next to the bow of the Big Fitz with his life preserver on, however if they were to remove that body and bring it up into the surface, it would instainiously disintegrate and whatever would be left, couldn't be identified of whomever it is, or was.
My father was, but my mother wanted to be buried with her family. I am donating my body to national science for medical research then I will be cremated.

@@joshuawhitehurst552 The University of Tennessee Forensic Anthropology Center may be help. They have what's called a "body farm", where bodies are left to decompose in nature or studied in a normal laboratory way.
My son was cremated may he rest in peace forever, the ashes were not ground to powder like on here they were more granulated, this was in England so perhaps why though im not sure his ashes were heavy to carry he was a five 10 inches tall and heaven set not fat, i had nothing to compare the ashes with as my father was buried, my son didn’t want a burial we talked about it long before he passed over, he said he preferred it to the possibility of becoming a zombie, he was serious to. Two years later i decided i to would be cremated as he was, and my two 1st cousins did get cremated also at their wish, as we would not have anyone to tend our graves its a good idea. We bought little house in the cemetery to put their remains in, we are a small family i am now the last member as my son had no children so its fitting.

Perhaps it was just a limitation in the design of the grinder (granules vs. powder).

My sister was cremated, one of her funeral songs was The Doors - Light My Fire.

May i ask was he ill what was the cause of death??.
In Bali, Indonesia I witnessed with my visiting parents a public cremation of a village elder in a wooden sarcophagus with gamelan or gongs being played. My dad said' What a way to go! 'My mum was speechless. The ash apparently was returned to the sea. The Balinese practice a type of Hinduism.
Polluting the waterways is an antiquated "custom" which is the problem . Religious customs keep most of the world's people's backward polluting the planet . Too bad , that's my belief .
@@tonyklymson8096 I suppose you could leave the bodies out to be eaten by carnivores instead.
@@henryfitch8710 That is the normal practice of Parsi's or Zoroastrians - Towers of Silence and Vultures. Not Hindu's.
@@arijitsengupta1101 I have maximum respect for these people for allowing this to happen. A clean way to dispose of a corpse and feed a wild animal in the process. I wish this could happen to my corpse.
That's the other bit you don't read about. In India, decimation of the Vulture population due to over use of pesticides have resulted in bodies lying in said towers and rotting away. Nearby residents complain of unbearable stench...nowadays even Parsis opt for cremation.
Thank you for this information. Cremation is common in my family, and when I die it is my choice. I also do not want a funeral service, but a celebration of my past life, and definitely no open coffin.
I told my sisters the same thing!
I'm with you on the open casket and don't want my body viewed as the last thing my daughters and grandchildren see to remember me by. I'm being cremated and just want a big picture of me and my grandchildren and of course, Genesis playing.👍
I don’t want a funeral either I hate it when I have to mess up my schedule and miss work etc to go to weddings and funerals so I’m never putting others thru that
@Aya Wrong, your soul will be needed for judgement day your body is just a vessel while on Earth and once you pass your soul leaves your body and just becomes an empty shell.
The reason most people choose cremation is primarily due to the high cost of funeral services
Not only that the space at cemeteries
The cost of funerals is outrageous. That money could be spent in a better fashion. Funeral directors prey off of peoples' grief when they're not thinking clearly. It's best to have a cremation already paid for. I paid for mine at the same time I paid for my husband's, and the same company will do mine when the time comes. (Jan Griffiths).
Not the reason I've chosen cremation but your point is taken.
In the Philippines, the casket is not included in the cremation.
My father in law's funeral including casket and tomb (not rented) in the Philippines was less than $1500.
Both my parents were cremated at their wish. They wanted me and my brother to pour the ashes into the river off a bridge by their old house. We did it. My brother said after that’s exactly how he wanted to go. So when he died me and my sister did the same for him so he could be with mum and dad. When I go I have let it be know that’s where I’m going too. Sort of gives me peace of mind.
Amankwaa Beatrice Osei :pour it in the River, then ppl go & fetch to drink?
We did a lot of cremations when I worked in the funeral business, for many families it was because of the costs. I retired a few years ago, I miss it, but I'm not as young as I used to be.
Hello. how are you doing over there?

This is very informative. The implant though was stunning.
From dust we came, to dust we shall return either by tradition or cremation...
Yes indeed.
When Jesus returns at His second coming to claim His faithful, it doesn't matter in what condition we will be in because He will regenerate us atom by atom, tissue by tissue, etc etc until we are made completely whole, made into a living soul once again, but will not be subject to death. We will be like His own body when He rose from the tomb; immortal, physical, warm to the touch, and we will be recognized by those who knew us.
@@Pantherman63 So that means a resurrected grandson would only be able to see his resurrected grandmother as she was in her old age (and perhaps slow and decrepit) state while said grandma’s resurrected older sister (who happened to die much earlier) would recognize her as a more youthful and energetic lass?
@@TripMX
No. When those whom Jesus raises at His second coming will be in complete youthfulness and vigor if they died at an old age,no matter what generation they died in. He will retire life as they were intended to be without any trace of degradation.
@@itzcaseykc Okay, so that implies all older figures being resurrected back to some kind of youthful state (assuming below the age of 40). What of their resurrected offspring and younger kin with varying differences in age (including premature deaths)? Some would undoubtedly be unrecognizable....or perhaps (just speculating, as I do not know exactly what would occur) they will “just know” or “recognize them in spirit”?
@@TripMX
When scripture talks about the spirit of man, it is *not* some disembodied aspect as some faiths perpetuate among themselves due to a lack of understanding of the original languages used when writing the old & new testament, but is merely the breath of God that was placed within each of us. There are also references of the word inferring a rhetorical atmosphere of a situation, but it never connotates intelligence. Whenever the word is capitalized it is in reference to the third person of the Godhead, i.e. the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of the Lord not to us humans. So, when the righteous are resurrected, we will know each other face-to-face as we are/were known in the here-n-now, in whatever generation we lived.

I was born in Ireland and having lived in France for the last 54 years and 18 in Ireland. I consider myself to be Franco Irish. Although my mother tongue is English I have spoken much more French during my life. I want to be cremated and after that my children and perhaps grandchildren take the ferry between France and Ireland and when they get to the halfway mark, empty the contents of the urn into the sea. It's not exactly Earth to earth but is the closest solution I have come up with to continue, once dead, as I felt when living. There are certainly those that will find this idea crazy or will use some other unpleasant adjective to describe it,, who cares, I won't be around to read their comments.
I think it's wonderful! I want to be scattered in the ocean too! Many blessings !
Me too. I find the ocean peaceful and relaxing. ❤
That sounds so beautiful you have made a wonderful choice. 💙 💘
Crazy!!?? not at all!! That is completely normal, do you know that in USA there is something called "reef ball burrials" they cost between $1500-7k still cheaper than regular funeral. What they do is they have that concrete " balls" made from ph neutral concrete and your ashes are mixed with concrete and molded into a reef ball-a hollow, holey structure that's up to six feet wide and five feet tall. It sits on the seafloor, ideally creating marine habitat and preventing erosion, that ball will become a living coral reef after a while, isn't that beautiful?
Not at all crazy! I think it's beautiful!
Thinking back over my 65 years how suddenly its mostly about cremation now, but as a youngster most of my family were buried, times have changed so has the availability of burial land. People of the future will miss out on seeing burials like I have, plus you will never see the likes of Highgate Cemetary again which I suggest is a must visit place full of characters stories plus the famous ones.
I love Highgate.
I had to do a repair on a roof and was sent to a crematorium, at the time of getting the job I never expected I’d have to walk through the bit where they cremated the body’s, as I walked back through there was a coffin just sat there waiting to be burned. Eye opener.
I understand you my friend.
many years ago i was in a line of work where i was a security guard on trains, it was not uncommon for someone to cross the train tracks (now.. just to be clear, here in Sydney, Unlike America, we do not have the tracks energized, instead the power to our trains comes from overhead wiring and feeds into the roof off the train) the point is.. you cross the tracks and accidentally didn't see the train, it hits you and your'e fucked
I have seen clean hits, i have seen bodies' ripped to pieces while being rolled under the train that has like 8 cars to it , i've seen them sliced in half, i've seen heads ripped off, you name it .
but more so than the ripped apart ones, the clean hits......
i agree, it's always an eye opener to see the person on the ground
and look into their eyes and realize no one is there anymore, it's just a body now
you saw the coffin and got the realizing "this will be me one day"
i got to see it without the coffin
(not bragging or comparing, Just saying..
1. I absolutely understand you
2. it's a whole different experience without the coffin
and then... you see that around 100 times and you kinda get de sensitized to it
and then you start to question "Am i shit a person for not caring or crying about each and every one"
but then you think "I can't possibly cry for each one because
1. i'd go mental if i did
2. i didn't know them
3. it's still sad though"
and your'e left in this catch-22 situation where you question your own morals and what sort of person are you
Believe me , I UNDERSTAND
@@martinkuliza No, there’s no moral obligation to mourn those who’d died. It’s only natural to become desensitized to the graphic appearances of those bodies and in part, is a defense mechanism to process the circumstances. Anyone would certainly be morally responsible to treat the deceased in a professional and respectful manner, which I assume was done.
@@BeckVMH
I agree, it is a defense mechanism.

The time for showing ur obedience, love and honor is when the person is alive. Going into debt and whole family's tearing apart does not say to the world I LOVED THIS PERSON MORE THAN EVERYONE ELSE. Going into debt isn't honor nor is the length or amount of love u had for them.
I agree. Unless one has sufficient funds to depose a loved one well, cremation is the next best thing. *Going into debt* over this, or anything else really, does not show honor & respect to the family or loved one.
Exactly 💯 Give them Flowers while they are still here on earth 🌎
Cremation is probably going to be the only option eventually but I wonder how many people noticed or realised that they never actually burnt the Casket along with the Body !.
The Caskets/Coffins have a false floor so the body can be transferred over,they lift away the Body of the Coffin leaving the Deceased on a Board ( bottom of the Coffin ) and then the Body of the Deceased is either transferred into a Cardboard Container or they are just pushed directly into the Oven.
Many Countries there are Laws about burning certain materials like Wood but in most cases it is just a case of Funeral Homes not explaining what will happen when someone is actually cremated ( This is the part where most people think about the £5000 they have just been charged for a Coffin/Casket and they now know it hasn’t been Cremated along with the Deceased ?!! ).
The Coffin is really more of a Container for transport and a Way we show respect for the Deceased by purchasing the Funeral Homes Top of the range coffin but people really should be thinking about what happens to the Coffin they pay so much money for ??!!!.
Burials are done differently because obviously you see the Coffin going into the ground but the Coffin is just Chipboard with a lovely veneer and they aren’t Solid oak or mahogany etc !!.
Sorry but Funeral Homes are not honest with people, they do play on people’s grief….. how many people do you know who ever asked the question do the Coffins get cremated along with the Deceased ?
Funeral Homes make a lot of Money
I thought the casket was rented for viewing and the body was placed in a box
How that guy was able to sit inside of the retort is beyond me😱
You are so right! Just an invitation for some nut job to try it out! 🥶
It probably wasn't hooked up.
I feel like cremation is the least depressing and trauma inducing “burial” process for a loved one.
The people you interviewed in the business of cremation were creepy and not respectful at all of the people that had past. Though I can understand people wanting to be sure they receive the remains of their loved ones I can't imagine wanting to push the button to "start the process"?
Only family members should push the button or person closest to the person
@@ilovepinktacos thats not true, anybody can push the button...it doesnt matter, their burnt regardless
Not to mention the bozo who found the remains "thrilling". If any one said that around me when my husband was cremated, I don't know how I'd have responded.
That’s interesting to see how the cremation works.
This was wonderful...., Takes the mystery out of the event & answers questions you wudnt think to ask or ones you have always wondered or worried about. I love the family being able to witness or participate!!

Last time I heard of the term retort, was in the early 80’s during the oil shale extraction process in western Colorado. The shale had to be heated to extract the oil from the rock.
Retorts are common in pyrometallurgy.
Retort is also a type of stand used in chemistry.
It's a lot of work involved in this process
Very educational video , wow 🧐🤓.
Witnessed the cremation of a brother in law, was surprised when the attendant grabbed a heavy cardboard mailing tube... Took tube and rolled it under the inner liner the body was in - to lift it up and encourage flames to reach the bottom side. FYI, if you ever go to a cremation, hope it’s not the first one of the day. First one in takes over an hour and a half, the last one of the day takes 45 minutes or less.
If you're obese, you'll be first.
That’s beside the ovens need to get at least 800 degrees before then body can be entered. Once the body has entered the chamber, the pressure is cracked up to incremental 1200 to 1800 degrees in matter of minutes. A proper cremation of an average person take about 2 hours, then it needs to cool down to take out the ashes.
Cremation comes from the latin verb cremare meaning "to burn", thus the latin substantive word crematio means "the burning"
Duh
I prefer too rest in peace in coffin,
Honor people's decisions... We know how it works.
Very interesting in learning this about cremation
I worked as a bricklayer on a crematorium in Enfield England, where we had to replace the bricks in the chamber itself, it’s what’s called refractory brickwork, it was handy in the winter, working on live cremation units, we never lost any time through cold bad weather, I often had my spirit level leaning against the door when I was told another one is coming down, it was a good job but ruined when a baby was being cremated, we went outside, didn’t want to see that, but the buggers waited until we came down assuming that it was in the burner, they actually threw the tiny coffin in by hand , almost missing the opening, it was too small to use the roller trolley, it would fall off after being pushed otherwise, that was it, I jacked after that, the reason, it’s too hot to be right in front of the door, hence thrown in from the side. I learnt one thing though, if you get cremated, the last thing on earth you get is “ the push” 😂
Think it would spook me out been inside ,be at back of mind all the bodies that have been cremated and what if someone shuts the door while inside .

I just completed a Pre-Need Direct Cremation Plan, with a company that includes EVERYTHING, other than the cremation permit (this the family pays for after the person dies). It was the BEST PLAN! Others that I researched had a low cremation price, but then there was a LONG list of what was NOT included! That could surprise a lot of family members, who thought it was all covered, and then are hit with a HIGH PRICE!
Remember that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return.
Haha...it's obvious that the remains of the dead (be it bone gravel/crumble or grinder into debris) after cremation would be placed inside the urns or some forms of container permenantly and never returned to the ground. 😢
I suppose even those in this flourishing "death business" are Christian believers, they wouldn't acknowledge the Biblical Truth regarding "burial of the dead"...b'coz it's a very clear "conflict of intetest" you see! 😧
Maybe the funeral homes who do burials need to take more note of people not using their services and homes going out of business. They need to cut their costs to remain a viable option for those who want burial.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Very interesting indeed I had always wanted to know what happens inside the cremation chamber. We in India have been cremating our dead from times immemorial. Cremation is the cleanest and best way of saying good bye to our loved ones. Yes but it is a fact that we do not put our dead into a casket, after one last look we cover the face with a white sheet and the body is placed directly on the rails and the body is pushed in. The entire process is completed in about one hour.
Like in Game of Thrones!
@@JamesCarter-tc6bo😂😂 pretty much
And better if the deceased has tulsi and Ganga water under the tongue.
He didn't explain what happens to the wooden coffin ashes. Are they completely vaporized or are they mixed in with the human ashes?
Only bone is left. That is grinded into ashes. Watch video again.
Amazing to watch. All my cat's are cremated and I plan to go the same way.
My rottweiler was cremated and I have his ashes. He was like another baby to me. I did get 10 wonderful years with him
Cancer took over his bodies. I miss him so much.
Some friends of mine have a whole slew of cremated pets, several dogs, a cat, a goose, an emu, and 2 Burmese pythons. They are all in very nice boxes with the pet's name, date of birth (if known), and the date cremated. All sitting on a nice shelf in their living room. When any of my pets die, I bury them on my property under trees. (Jan Griffiths).

Is it possible to fully view a complete cremation from beginning to end?

Caitlin Doughty wrote an interesting book about her experiences working at a crematorium. “Smoke gets in your eyes”
I worked in a crematorium and I think she's being a little dramatic with that title.
Why not wear something over your eyes?
I'd be scared I might smell the odor coming out the stack. I've been to a few creations and I've always checked to see whether the breeze is going.
Same here, I always check to see which way the breeze is blowing. I look for the smoke stack, simply to avoid the odor of human flesh roasting. Yuk!
What happens to replacement hips, knees, shoulders, etc. how about dental implants?
Probly got a scrap bin.
Never knew about the “blender” part cause I taught you would see ashes already but we seen bone pieces lol
These machines don't burn the body completely. In India when we do cremation, there's nothing left.
To me after death the sole has left the human flesh suit. Leaving behind an empty vessel that is surplus to requirement, so cremation is the most efficient method of disposal.
*I think you mean "soul", sole is the bottom of your shoe. Also the most efficient method of body disposal is burial at sea or to have a school of Piranha, swine, buzzards, or some other animal or insect consume the flesh and then crush the bones into powder. Coffins and caskets are different, a coffin is diamond shaped, a casket is a rectangle box. Cemeteries and grave yards are different, grave yards are near churches, cemeteries stand alone without association to a specific church. Also urns and caskets can be purchased through Walmart and one need not go through a funeral home to bury a loved one. Every state has laws on the books concerning the handling of dead people. In my state if a loved one dies in a hospital and cause of death has been determined by a doctor you can go to the hospital morgue and pick your loved one up, put them in a casket and bury them in your family cemetery without a funeral home even touching the body. And lastly, if one decides to cremate a loved one the carbon from their ashes can be collected, put into a special press and a half carat or larger diamond can be created to keep or given to a love one to cherish.*

Exactly right. Spirit likes the body to be cremated as the Spirit does then not cling to the carcass in cases of shock deaths, they cross over more quickly. Loves ones are their to greet them.

My stepfather was a licensed funeral director and he sometimes allowed me to watch an embalming and a cremation at his work. Interesting stuff.

Thank you for your education

In Japan the family accompanies the body to the crematorium and watch as the coffin is placed inside, the door closed and the flames started. Then they go back and talk, drink, et for an hour or two. Then they go back, the metal tray is pulled out and they each use these metal chopsticks to puck up a bone or two and put it in the urn. The ‘person in charge’ then pts the rest of the bones in and everybody leaves. At least that was what happened with the one I went to. The process was pretty much the same when my dog, Charlie, died.
I am from the UK u mentioned that u have a problem with all those urns of uncollected ashes that u hold ? So what do u do with them ? The Crematoria in the UK scattered uncollected ashes on the gardens of rememberance lawns before the start of the day. Also a larger body will not cremate in 1 hour 45mins it will take longer and generally must be done in a cooler cremator.
Having witnessed both my mothers cremation in Cape town and my grandmothers in South London i can vouch for the fact that the coffins are not burnt but returned to the undertakers for a commission.!
A face mask may be an idea when your bone sifting.
Just for the dust. The bones are sterile after cremation. The director of the crematorium that cremated my husband told me that. (Jan Griffiths).
@@douglasgriffiths3534 Agreed.
..not that anything of germs like residue is left mind you.

I have a reconstructed knee, hip, neck, back and right shoulder joint. I didn't have a lot of choices in the matter at the time, but how does this affect my choice, if at all, and what happens to my hardware?
Recycled?
Your choices are not affected. If you are cremated, your hardware will be recycled.
So Sad to Loose Someone ... broken heart wouldn't be able to want anything to do with pushing that button 😢
A friend lost her son to overdose. She was destroyed. She went to view her 19 yr old son's cremation and asked me to go. When they exposed him, he looked horrible. Bruised up from lividity or pooling blood. His eyes and torso were the worst. She nearly collapsed. A month later, she killed herself.
How devastating 🥺
Cremation practices should have a common rule/contract to not expose the body after body have been delivered for this process.
Jesus. My prayers to that family. 😓😓🙏🏽🙏🏽
How very sad. They should seriously sue the Funeral home because by law they are required to prepare the body fir viewing, makeup, hair etc I would definitely look into that please, very sad to hear that my condolences 💋 💘
I would have asked someone else to look, personally...but im.morbid and it doesn't really bug me HALF as much as how bad they look after death and prep from the funeral home
I have heard a lot of unusual final wishes but my sister in law wanted her ashes to be thrown in the funeral directors face, sadly, it never happened😢
The cat. That was so, so funny! "my mother wanted her ashes to be thrown at the director's face"! That is hilarious!
That's hilarious,
Oh Dear wishfull thinking. 🤐🤣🤪

Why, was she married to the funeral director and wanted one last insult to him? That would have been funny to see.

Death is so horrible and scary. I wish death never existed....
TRINITARIAN: ✝️
You're looking at it the wrong way! Even Jesus wept for us because of of his knowledge of sin and death ☠️
If you believe in God in any kind of way our species chose death in the garden of Eden (Genesis 3)
It's only by God's grace and mercy that He gives us the ability to handle this punishment for disobedience in a much more hygienic and humane manner as the generations progress
Cuz God could have easily just allowed us to deal with the dead like we did back a thousand of years ago instead of creating great innovators throughout modern history to deal with the aftermath of such a devastating force as death ☠️
Death is the next adventure in the life of our soul.
Very scary. This is what awaits us all.
it's not scary if theres no one to experience it .
Death or Cremation?? Death isn't IF you have been Born Again, being Born Again the very Life of the Creator comes to live inside of you & takes you to heaven when your mortality ends.

Cremation is much less expensive than traditional burial. The mortuary industry takes advantage of people’s misery over the loss of their loved ones. Services,caskets etc,burial sites,are high profits. It used to be cremations were only about $400,(1980)but now because people are forgoing burials the price of cremation has escalated to offset the loss of profits.
They should just be called Dead Body Disposal Service. Doesn't sound like it is worth 10g with that name!!
I have wanted it done since I was 9 years old. Still Do. ❤
Who thinks about having that done at 9?
9yo? you're not normal

Late reply, but I asked when I brought my friend to the crematorium. I was told they are collected by a company that sold them for scrap. The money that the crematorium made from this is then donated to charity. At least that's what they told me.
I've been dying to know how this worked.
Good one ESD 2002
i'm trying to decide what i want done with my body after i leave it..
traditional burial, cremation ? looking into my options thinking it through..
My older brother passed away recently and was cremated. Talking with a family member about what happens to the bones, they said the bones burned up during the process. I thought the bones didn't but wasn't sure about it. I wasn't going to argue. Not an important enough issue to argue. I see from this video I was right but didn't know what happened to the bones. Interesting but learning I was right still won't be a big deal, enough to argue about it.
$100,000 for a crematorium? I'm going to make my own.
BUT, those buying such just think about all the $$$$ they can make with such, I'd like to know the EXACT $$$ needed for overhead to operate one of these for a year, EXACT gas price etc. needed PER BODY, maintenance & the TOP 10 parts that will fail & when
My mom's was 1500
Urn was 400.00
Just paid for mine with urn 3k
8k
Rubbish if someone charged you that much they should be Arressted. Have a direct Cremation no embalming, wrap body in a cloth make sure you choose a Crematorium close to you it much cheaper. Or opp for a sea burial that is very cheap, rules are you need to go three nautical miles from land and weigh the body down if course.
Thats it cheap and very mivjng experience indeed.

@@VAATAUSILI4139 so you rather want your family to decompose and be aeten by milions of bugs? and that is not extremely horrible for you? it must be something wrong with your thinking. Obviously you have no idea what happens to the body underground.
I had a friend that worked for a cremation place and he always told me that cremating 1 body at a time cost them to much money so they decided to do a few bodies at a time people are no longer to watch your love ones being cremated you are to sit at home until they call you and say your love one is ready for pick up so you can believe whatever makes you feel that you have your love one at home or whatever comforts you but to be honest if you don’t see it don’t believe it the cremation company isn’t going to pay tons of money to just do 1 body at a time but again believe what comforts you!!!!

For $10000k you saying that the ashes of someone’s love one is also someone else’s mixed in together that awful
@@stylish1012 that’s exactly what I’m saying it’s to much money and there time to do just 1 body they rather do multiple bodies at a time it’s faster and they save money and their time they can careless about feelings or the family as long as you think your love one is in that ash bag and they get paid is all that counts to them!!!
Really highway robbery and mixed remains.

Should I die before Jesus' second coming, I would like to be cremated since it would be cheaper. If not, then maybe just be burnt leaving my bones to be buried in a small container rather than being crushed into powder.
Either way, it matters not how our remains are dealt with, or how we are buried, because Jesus will reassemble our bodies in the resurrection when He comes; the dead are raised incorruptible and those who are alive will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye, i.e. instantaneously.
If while alive at this time and we are deformed or disabled, our bodies will be made straight and whole, just as the dead will be and no longer susceptible to death.
Whether we are sleeping in the grave or alive, we will be made alive by the spoken word of Jesus, at which time we will then be lifted up to where He awaits us in the clouds whereby we go to heaven for a wee bit.
With burial vaults, there's no decomposition into the water table.
no but you have a decomposed body taking up space. Plus the coffins in vaults are usually made from lead, and leak.
I beg to differ. There is a video featuring a funeral home & the representative accepts that no matter the type of vault, in time there will be water seepage & it will leach into the casket - the water will seep through into the ground. Nothing is water tight for ever.
As a retired funeral director, I have witnessed many cremations. Such a cleansing procedure that takes approximately 2 hrs, with crs given to family within a couple of days. Would recommend it anytime!👍👍😉
Vaults will leak after time. Viruses and bacteria will get into the water table. Cremation is a fairly sterile process. Nothing can survive that heat. (Jan Griffiths).
With cremation there is nothing
@@jrogervaughan but in vaults not covered in heaps of dirt

Inglewood Park Cemetery Mortuary still has very early concrete crematoriums. Possibly built originally in 1905.
The evil Germans of the 40’s used common house bricks to build theirs and they could cremate much much faster than modern day crematories. They could also cremate multiple bodies at the same time.
The above facts were disclosed by numerous survivors of WW2.
My family is Catholic, they believe we must be buried in the ground. I sadly have a Mom, Husband, in the ground. My Mom's is falling into the ground deeper every year. I bring flowers and trinkets for her. Sadly I m older and almost 60. I cannot travel to see her as often. I miss her, even after 37 years now. I was 22 when she passed and went into shock. I had 2 small children at the time. My husband passed 3 years later. I did my best, but was never the same. My adult Life is spent pleasing others. I have no idea why I care more for others then myself. But I'm happy alone with my dog. And God of course 17 year's alone. Guess I won't change for anyone, ever again. Amen. Be blessed y'all.
This is terrifying, even dead.
True it is
My brother, mother & step-dad were all cremated and supposedly was spread over some TX property my mother and her husband bought 4+ decades back. My father and his wife were buried whole, as far as I know, in the same plot. Various other family related individuals were cremated just as I plan to be. Don't see anything wrong with it, plus it IS much cheaper than having a casket and having the body embalmed, etc.
My brother passed in 2014 use to tell me he wanted to be buried in a box after I was saying I was getting cremated. He replied jokingly; "why take the chance of getting burned twice. 🔥 "

@@emilypoole5686 I think the joke is about being burned in Hell. Cremation would be the second burning.
hey thats my saying
@@alanjohnson2662
Actually, no. Cremation would be the first burning since hellfire does not yet exist. *Biblically speaking,* nobody is yet in hell, nor do they go to heaven, upon death. That is a deception taught by the Church of Rome to scare people.
These Retorts or Chambers as many call them are modern compared to the 1928 versions I worked with. The chambers were from 1928 and the burners were from 1967. We put metal such as steel, bronze copper, wood, and cardboard in there for cremations.
{ وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلࣰا وَنَسِیَ خَلۡقَهُۥۖ قَالَ مَن یُحۡیِ ٱلۡعِظَـٰمَ وَهِیَ رَمِیمࣱ (78) قُلۡ یُحۡیِیهَا ٱلَّذِیۤ أَنشَأَهَاۤ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةࣲۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلۡقٍ عَلِیمٌ (79) }

My husband's and his mother's ashes I had in urns at home. Some of my husband.s ashes were placed in a Christmas tree ornament, and he's hanging on my Christmas tree. The rest of their ashes were combined and buried under a tree on my property. I sold the urns back to the crematorium. My parents' and his dad's ashes were interred in a mausoleum. (Jan Griffiths).
Your nuts those ashes have to be buried on hollow ground. Put him in the cemetery.
@@martinedalo5595 Cemeteries want too much money for that. And he can still celebrate Christmas. (Jan Griffiths).
You can use a plain box no funerals no shows no food just wrap me in a sheet and put me in a box. And they will do it. I will tell my church. And they will help with burial.
You taught me something new; selling urns back to crematoriums. Makes sense really. My brother, mother, and her last husband were cremated and were suppose to have been spread over some of their Texas property by the step-son. It is uncertain if that happened.
Mausoleums leak, btw.
