NounWikipedia has an article on: CremationSingular cremation Plural cremations cremation (plural cremations) From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Cremation is the process of reducing human remains to basic chemical compounds in the form of gases and bone fragments. This is accomplished through high temperatures and vaporization. Contrary to popular belief, the cremated remains are not ashes in the usual sense, but rather dried bone fragments that have been pulverized in a device called an electric cremated remains processor. This leaves the bone in a fine sand like texture and colour, able to be scattered without any foreign matter. Cremation may serve as a funeral or postfuneral rite that is an alternative to the interment of an intact body in a casket. Cremated remains, which are not a health risk, may be buried or immured in memorial sites or cemeteries, or they may be legally retained by relatives or dispersed in a variety of ways and locations. In many countries cremation is usually done in a crematory but others may prefer different methods. An example is the common practice of open-air cremation in India. From Wikipedia under the

We'll all learn together! In all seriousness, it is a toxic substance. unless you had another toxic substance in your stomach. The unburned carbon would react with it; and cause you to purge; but I cannot foresee a situation where you would be around cremated remains but NOT near a phone to make a 9-1-1 call.

I don't really think you realise what work is involved. 1. It's not a fire that is used, but a furnace (much much hotter), which requires huge amounts of energy to fire up, that is why they are only lit a couple of times a week and bodies are cremated ither together while it is lit. (There is no real guarantee that the ashes you get back really are your relative/pet) 2. Burning flesh smells A LOT! 3. The fire burns away the flesh, bu tthe bones then need to be ground down, which means that you woud need to buy some sort of machine capapble of doing so. You probably need some sort of licence to do it. But an innovative idea for a new small business.

In Genesis 3:19, G-d told Adam: You will return to the ground, for it was from the ground that you were taken. Judaism specifically forbids cremation, and also requires a very simple burial process that is close to nature. This article explains the concepts. Another important point is the Torah commandment: "You shall bury him on that day." (Deuteronomy 14) This mitzva requires us to bury the entire body, with no intervening process (such as cremation) or anything that diminishes the physical body. "You must bury him in entirety, not partially. From this verse we extrapolate that the command was not fulfilled if the person was partially buried." --Jerusalem Talmud (Oh, and Zeep, IMO you were doing fine.)
