Cremation involves using high heat to reduce a body to bone fragments, which are then processed into a fine, ash-like substance known as cremated remains or ashes.
The cremation process typically takes between 2 to 3 hours, depending on factors such as the individual's size, weight, and the equipment used by the crematory.
A crematory is a licensed facility equipped with cremation machines (retorts) where trained operators perform the cremation process.
