Usually, a fire, not chemicals are used.
Acetylene is a good gas but most emphasis is placed on the results of the combustion to reduce pollution.

I don't believe any chemicals are involved, the temperatures used in cremating are of such a high nature, no chemicals need to be involved.

Remains burned at very high temp for x amount of time--then pulverized and re burned-then any hard pieces pulverized again- then "cremains" cooled, placed in plastic container awaiting pick up.

They are fired with wood, and in gas chambers or electric crematoriums.
