HUMAN DEAD BODY CREMATORIUM: JKA-230C

It is a common sight in most open crematoriums where cloud of black smoke covers the blue sky. According to some environmentalists, the ceremony of burning human bodies using wood, with the belief that it releases the soul, is actually a threat to the environment. According to a report, all the year round, around 50 to 60 million trees are burned during cremations in India. While burning the wood, there is also emission of million tonnes of carbon dioxide gas which is not good for the environment.

The two main drawbacks of the traditional method of cremation are air pollution and deforestation. Also, cremation in open grounds generate large amounts of ashes, which are later thrown into rivers and water bodies, especially the Ganga River, there by polluting the water. These are all environmental threats caused by cremation. It can be difficult to make a big decision about a process you don’t understand.

While you may not know the exact details of how a traditional burial works, it is easy to visualize what happens. That’s not necessarily true for the cremation process. Despite how long the practice has been around (some 2,000 years!), it can be a bit of a mystery. That’s because most people never see what’s behind the scenes. But, understanding how it works can help ease the anxiety that many people feel about the cremation process. Today’s modern crematories use industrial furnaces designed just for cremation. The process takes about 2-3 hours to complete.
