Cremation
is the process of reducing the body to ash and bone fragments through
the application of intense heat. The actual process usually takes two
to three hours and occurs in a special cremation furnace, also known as
a retort. The remaining fragments are reduced into a finer consistency
and placed in an urn chosen by your family.
