The process was adopted in many other institutions including hospitals and universities with donor body programs. It was being used by the funeral business by 2011.

Preparing for cremation by removing medical devices

Some medical devices like pacemakers, ICDs and other electronic devices are not suitable incineration in a crematorium. These devices have sensitive electronic elements that could cause fire, or even explosion. Because these devices are made from plastics or metals, they can also release infectious materials that are harmful to people who are around them. Crematorium staff can answer questions about proper disposal and safety during cremation.


Removal of clothing before cremation

A common question is whether clothes can be worn on a cremated body or not. While most materials are safe to include in the cremation, some materials might not. Your provider can advise you on what to do. You can also ask your funeral director to dress the deceased. Although most materials can be included, certain synthetic fabrics might not. Consult a crematorium guide before making final arrangements.

Return of cremated remains

Cremated remains look like coarse sand, and they are often grayish to whitish. Although the final product looks like ash, these remains are actually bone fragments. The cremation process does not burn the body completely. However, the cremation process removes any metallic material. The cremated remains are left with a grayish-white appearance. If your loved one had an urn or a glass container, the cremains should be returned to the family.
