What happens when someone is cremated and what is the process involved in the cremation of a body?

When someone is cremated, their body is placed in a special chamber called a cremation furnace, where it is exposed to high temperatures of around 1400-1800 degrees Fahrenheit. This process typically takes 2-3 hours and reduces the body to bone fragments. The remains are then processed into a fine powder called cremains, which are given to the family in an urn. Any metal implants or dental fillings are removed and disposed of separately.
