If all cofins in the @crematorium are burnt how come we have trees left?

Answer 1

That old chestnut has morphed so many times it has lost its meaning. Give it up!

Answer 2

Because not many people are going to purchase a $5000 casket knowing that they are going to be cremated. There are inexpensive boxes used for this process.


Not to mention that the crematorium wouldn't want all the left over (unburnt) hardware cluttering up their place.

Answer 3

Wood is a renewable resource, Tree's seed, are planted by nature or man, and grow, in so far as we don't cut more down then grow we will always have them. Conservation efforts, uninhapbited land and protected areas all contribute to the regrowth of trees.

Also Cremation doesn't happen in a coffin, it happens w/o wood, usually in a gas furnace.

Answer 4

a tree is huge.and can produce a few coffins out of a tree.but depends on what type of tree.this question is same like asking if we printed so many newspaper and books in this world why theres still trees.
Nearly all forest and jungles are preserved.theres regulations that for any number of trees to be harvested it must be replace by a certain number of saplings to replace it.this is to prevent overlogging of timbers.

Answer 5
