Pros and Cons of Cremation
In Russia, only in some cities there are crematoriums. According to statistics, 45% of residents use the services of this organization. Cremation is considered a cheaper way of burial than intercession or embalming, and also less harmful to the environment. Opponents of burning the bodies of the dead consider this process less emotional. There is no way to see with your own eyes how a person is being buried in the ground and say goodbye to him.
If a person does not want his body to rot in the earth after death, then he can bequeath to cremate himself, as well as knowingly describe what to do with the ashes.
Crematorium furnaces
Crematoriums use special furnaces for incineration. The temperature in them is 800-1000 ° C. This is enough to destroy the human body into small pieces. The deceased is placed in a container or coffin made of combustible material, and sent to the furnace. The whole procedure takes 80-120 minutes when it comes to an adult. Relatives may be present during the burning, and before and after the event, they say goodbye to the deceased. It is believed that ashes remain from the body. But this is not so, the body breaks up into small pieces. All processes in the crematorium are automated, a person only controls a computer. After burning, the remains should cool, and only after that the dust is placed in the urn.
