Does the heart burn during cremation?

During cremation, the heart, like other soft tissues, undergoes combustion due to the high temperatures in the cremation chamber, typically ranging from 1400 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit (760 to 982 degrees Celsius). While the heart itself does not "burn" in the traditional sense, it is incinerated along with the rest of the body. The process effectively reduces the body to ash and bone fragments, and any organic material, including the heart, is destroyed in the process.
