This is what really happens during cremation, and it’s not pretty

Although cremation is still taboo in many cultures and religions, it has gained popularity over conventional funerals in recent years.

The truth is, however, that there are many misconceptions surrounding the process of cremation, which leads people to feel scared of it — but that fear simply comes from the unknown.

Lauren, a former funeral home worker who goes by @lovee.miss.lauren on TikTok, decided to walk her followers — over 2.5 million — through the process of cremation and bust a few common myths.

According to Lauren, the most common question people ask is, “How can I be certain that the ashes I receive truly belong to my loved one?”

She then explains the process from start to finish, stating that when the body is transferred to the Crematory, a metal plate displaying a specific ID number is placed on it. The plate remains with the body during the cremation. Following the process, the ashes are placed in a bag labeled with the correct identification, and a cremation certificate is issued containing the person’s name and registration number.

Some of the questions may sound strange, but they refer to real issues.

For example, someone wanted to know if a tampon is removed from the body if a woman dies while on a period.

Lauren explains that in most cases, autopsy is done before cremation and the tampon is removed especially if embalming is conducted. This, of course, is done with the family’s approval and adheres to strict protocols that ensure respect for the body.

Louise Singer, manager of Bramcote Bereavement Services in the UK, also opened up of the process of cremation. She explained that before the process starts, workers check the coffin for anything that can’t be cremated, such as pieces of metal or other tributes that can cause issues.

It is very important to ensure that the body doesn’t have a pacemaker fitted because it can easily explode under high heat and lift a 20-ton, seven-inch-thick cremation chamber into the air.

The temperature in the furnace is between 800 and 1,000 degrees Celsius and it takes around an hour and a half to completely burn.Workers check the progress through a spy hole.

If you have further questions regarding cremation, speak to a funeral director.
