Facts Surrounding The Cremation Process

By Anne Kelley

These compounds can be in the form of mineral fragments and gases although some retain appearance as dry bones.

There are some people that consider cremation as a rite during funerals or post-funerals. This is usually taken as an alternative to internments of intact dead bodies in coffins or caskets. Cremated remains do not pose health risks to living people. These may be buried or perhaps, interred in cemeteries or memorial sites.
