when someone is cremated is the coffin burnt as well?

Answer 1

Hi, actually the answer is yes.
Last year i went on a course at my local Crematorium. We learned the whole process of what happens before, during and after a cremation.

The construction inwhich the deceased goes into can be made of wood or cardboard, which is cremated with the body. In some states, no container is required. In most situations, the cremation providers will permit family members to be in attendances when the body is placed into the cremation chamber. Actually, a few religious groups include this as part of their funeral practice.

Answer 2

Surely this will garner me some thumbs down, but here you are:
Yes, if the person purchased a casket, it is cremated with the person. There are caskets specifically made for cremation from fiberboard or other materials, although some people choose to cremate cherry, oak and even mahogany caskets.
If the person is directly cremated, they are usually placed in a cardboard cremation box for sanitary purposes. Not all crematories require these, but most do.
Lastly, yes, you get back all of your loved one's remains, no, they are NOT mixed together with anyone else's and the cremation chamber is cleaned after every cremation to ensure you get all of the remains.

Answer 3

The corpse are put in a coffin rented by the family at the crematorium,it is pushed into the oven,the doors close the coffin flip, the corpse fall out, the coffin cary on the wheels to the otherside where it is prepared for the next cremation

Answer 4

Yes.
Often coffins used for cremation are simple wooden ones, unless the family specifically requests that the oak or cherry one be burned during the cremation process.

Answer 5

Yes and I want a U-Haul box instead of a coffin when I am cremated.

Answer 6

Yes :) I have recently just cremated a close family member and both coffin and body where cremated !!!!

Answer 7

In California, it is required to at least put the body into some sort of rigid container...a hard cardboard box is more like it, not really a true coffin.

Answer 8

yes it is supposed to be unless you do not want to pay for it in which case they will use a disposable.....one of the common scams is to sell the same cremation coffin over and over

Answer 9

Yes it is and I have absolute proof it is. When I and my brother and sister scattered my dear mum's ashes there were little nails amongst the ashes. Proof that the coffin is burnt as well.

Answer 10

I would think they do, where do all the coffins go then? There isn't a huge stash of them piled up round the back of the crematorium is there?
