Cremation or incineration is the method of calcination that is applied to dead human bodies, in order to decompose them and turn them into ashes, it is what is carried out continuously in places called crematoria. In addition to burial, cremation is an increasingly popular option for the final preparation of a corpse. This cremation is carried out in industrial and special ovens with high temperatures of approximately 800 ° C for a period of two hours, resulting in the ashes of the body that are actually bone particles. One of the transformations consists of sending the fire to the part of the trunk of the body, where the highest concentration of body mass is found.
The most ancient cremations were carried out in the Neolithic era on the Mediterranean shore. The contiguous spring the reduction to ashes was like a barbarian practice and was implemented only in pest stations. The Babylonians, according to Herodotus, enjoyed the practice of scenting their dead.
It is understood that humans began to incinerate or calcine corpses from the Neolithic era, both in the East and in the West. Judaism and later Catholicism perceived this practice with a bad perspective, corresponding to paganism, which ended with the body which is the sanctuary of the soul and center of Christian baptism, choosing burial. Cremation returned to regain relevance from the 1860s and in 1874, its virtues were exposed by Sir Henry Thompson who announced a book called The treatment and cremation of the body after death, jointly organizing the English Society of Cremation.
The crematorium can be associated with a chapel or a funeral branch, or it could also be an autonomous factory or a service provided by a cemetery.
Stoves use a number of different fuel sources, such as propane or natural gas. The novel cremation ovens include an inspection technician who monitors the circumstances under which the cremation has ground. The specialist can verify the necessary arrangements to provide a more efficient incineration, as well as certify that the environmental contamination that occurs is imperceptible.
