First, all the jewelry and other belongings are kept on the body and the body is placed in the incinerator. The casket is then closed and with the permission of medical examiner, the process of cremation starts. High flame is used to burn the body, after the process is completed; extra flames are used to break down the remains. The body is taken out when the incinerator cools down. The entire process takes around two hours.
Cremation is performed by special crematory operator who takes care of the documentation and handles the equipment. The designated funeral director along with the family members, plan the services and sign the permission for the rituals. After the service, the cremation ashes are placed in a transitory container, or special cremation urn, and handed over to a family member or friend, so that the deceased person can remain alive in their memory eternally.
