Crematorium


A crematorium is a facility that houses a cremator, having a cremation chamber or retort which is able to generate about 850-1000 °C. In this chamber, the body of a deceased is incinerated and hence, reduced to skeletal remains and bone fragments. Now gas-fired crematoriums have taken the place of conventional wood-based cremation processes. Many of the modern cremators have adjustable-control systems that monitor the cremation to see its completion and subsequently shut it down after the process.
