When did crematorium start?

Crematoriums began to emerge in the late 19th century, with the first modern crematory established in Woking, England, in 1885. The practice of cremation itself dates back thousands of years, with evidence of cremation found in ancient cultures, such as the Greeks and Romans. However, the formalization of crematoriums as facilities dedicated to the cremation process is a relatively recent development in the history of burial practices.
