Cremation is simply a process of reducing the human body to particles and bone fragments using high heat and flame. It is not the final disposition of the remains, nor is it a type of funeral service.
Depending on weight, cremation takes from two to three hours.
At the end of the cremation process, what remains are bone fragments. These bone fragments are then processed to a consistent size and placed into a temporary or permanent urn.
Cremated remains resemble coarse sand. They range in color from white to gray. The remains weigh between four and eight pounds.
Regulations only require a bag or box, but South Shore Cremation merchandise offers a variety of beautiful and affordable urns.
