What exactly is the experience of being cremated? The curator starts with an accompanying quiz: what do you think survives cremation in the human body, apart from some of the bones and medical equipment like steel nails?
First of all, if a pacemaker is installed, it must be taken out, because the battery will explode in a high-temperature environment. Although the family will usually mark on the form whether a pacemaker is installed, but to be on the safe side, the staff will still check it by hand, because there have been cases of family members filling in the form by mistake, resulting in the pacemaker mistakenly exploding in the incinerator oolong, and once the pacemaker is found, it will be removed with a scalpel.
Implants such as steel nails and artificial femoral heads can be sorted out after incineration. Families could theoretically apply to get these objects back, but the crematorium actually receives few such requests.
These implants are usually discarded, but some companies in Europe and the United States now recycle them, melting down the titanium, cobalt and stainless steel to make road signs and parts for airplanes and cars. Ergo, foreigners have a strange brain.
To prevent moral hazard at crematoriums, there are laws that require money from the sale of the deceased's belongings to be donated to charity.
Next, if the deceased was a woman and had had breast implants, it is possible that the breast implants would have been removed earlier. Because the main component of silicone is silica, which is extremely chemically stable and will not burn, and its boiling point is 2950 degrees Celsius, the temperature of the incinerator is only about 1,000 degrees Celsius, which means that the silicone in your body will neither burn nor vaporize, and will eventually turn into a puddle of gooey liquid sticking to the bottom of the incinerator, which the staff will have to shovel out. So did you all get that accompanying test right just now?
Generally there is a queue when the crematorium business is busy.
There may be a situation at this point where queue jumping is allowed, and that is when the deceased is grossly overweight!
In some countries in Europe and the United States where earth burials are popular, fat people are also very annoying. First of all, the family needs to communicate with the funeral company in advance, because the weight of the deceased is too large, may add two or three additional staff to carry, which has to add money; the standard coffin width of about 0.6 ~ 0.7 meters, if the weight of more than 300 pounds, then you need to customize oversized coffins, five forks to start, right, the width of about one meter and a half, so that lying in it will be relatively comfortable, of course, this is also going to add money;
At the same time, because the weight of the deceased is too high, it is not necessary to add money.
At the same time, because of the inches of land, the size of the cemetery is generally standardized, basically can not accommodate an oversized casket, if you can not find a suitable oversized pit, you may have to pay two pit fees.
The above math adds up to a potential extra $5,000 to $20,000 for burying a larger person in the ground, so there are some shy families who opt for cremation.
Of course cremation also runs into problems
The standard width of an incinerator door is about 0.8 meters, and some crematoriums will be equipped with a door of about one meter and three meters to serve super-sized people weighing less than a ton. Not all crematoriums have such equipment, so remember to do a good back-tuning of the crematorium before cremation oh!
Typically a normal person has between ten and twenty percent fat, with severely obese people having more than thirty percent. Burning this fat requires extra fuel, more time and care, and when fat burns quickly it releases a lot of heat and smoke that can clog the machine.
If there is a grossly overweight person on the cremation list for the day, there is a good chance that he or she will be cut in line and be cremated first that day, as the bricks of the incinerator are still cool enough to absorb some extra heat.
Before being placed in the oven, the body is usually placed in a specific "container", the noble solid wood customized coffin is not suitable for cremation. The container for the body is usually made of pine, plywood, or simply a cardboard box.
Before then, any jewelry, pacemakers, prosthetics, silicone, and the like are removed, though wigs are still allowed, and you're given a metal nametag that stays with the dead person until the end to tell which pile is the dead person and which pile is the guy next door.
Now that everything is in place and just needs to be lit, let's take a tour of the exclusive suite!
The master bedroom above is used to hold the remains in solid form and liquid form, with a room temperature of around 900 degrees Celsius;
The narrower second bedroom below is used to release gases, with a room temperature of around 1,000 degrees Celsius.
Throughout the entire session a staff member keeps a close eye on and controls the optimal environment inside the furnace, pretty sweet isn't it?
Human hair and clothing will be burned away for 30 seconds and ten minutes
The fat in the skin and muscle tissue exposed to the flames will start to char, making noises and shrinking, a process with which students who regularly jerk off may be relatively familiar.
Interestingly, the muscle tissue first contracts as it breaks down, and the contraction of the muscle leads to a corresponding contraction of the limbs to which it is attached, with the dead man's fists, arms, and limbs flexing, and his head tilting forward, in an overall stance that resembles that of a boxer ready to throw a punch. Of course this level of contraction would not allow the body to sit up, otherwise the atmosphere would be a bit spooky Ignition for twenty minutes
Most of the soft tissues have been burned, and I'm sorry to say that at this point the face payment function is no longer available. The ribs are flared out, body fluids from the chest and abdomen will spew out along with the last dinner eaten, and all the organs of the body will be dehydrated and contracted. Ignition for thirty minutes
The skull begins to crack, and the human will experience the most cerebral moment of their life, thoughts spewing out along with the fluids inside the skull along the cracks in the bone. Ignition for forty minutes
The skull transforms into a flip phone, remember to keep your skull safe, the brain finally sees the light of day, the closest it ever came to breaking out of prison was as a baby when the fontanel didn't close. The ribs are starting to twist and fall in all directions, the guts look like blackened sponges, the little arms are missing, and it's time to make a cameo appearance as Captain Hook. Fifty minutes on ignition
Muscle tissue and internal organs are basically gone, turning it into a skeleton in the truest sense of the word. Sixty minutes after ignition
Only a few ashes and bone remnants remain in the main room, and at this point, most of the body has been moved to the second bedroom, where it can be fully deodorized and decontaminated before returning to the atmosphere and returning to nothingness. The remaining 3 to 5 pounds of residue in the master bedroom is put into what looks like a cookie tray and ground into a powdery substance, which is then ready to be boxed up. Well, this caddy is the forever home ......
The whole cremation process comes to an end. Ashes to ashes, earth to earth, no matter whether a person was rich or famous, will eventually disappear in this square inch. If you lose yourself in the busy world and happen to brush up on this article, you may want to stop for a moment and think about the meaning of life. ......
