Cremation
|
|
Cremation is a process in preparation for the final disposition of the human body. The body is placed in a cremation casket or a combustable cremation container of some kind. The casket or container and the body are placed in the cremation chamber and consumed by the intense heat and flames. The skeletal body framework is reduced to bone fragments and particles.
Cremated remains normally weigh between four and eight pounds depending on the individual. The cremated remains will be placed in an urn or specialized container that is provided to hold the cremated remains.
In 1983 Heaton-Bowman-Smith & Sidenfaden Chapel put into operation the city's first on site crematory. St. Joseph Crematory Co. now provides over 550 cremation per year, making its services available to the Northwest Missouri area. |
