It is very simple to set up a crematory. There are many steps involved when cremating, including Alkaline Hydrolysis and returning the cremated remains. Read our articles on Alkaline hydration and cremation, as well as clothing preparation and returning the cremated remains. This section will describe the process.
Alkaline hydrolysis
In 1888, Amos Herbert Hanson discovered a method to make fertilizer from animal carcasses. In the 1990s, Albany Medical College installed a commercial alkaline-hydrolysis system to dispose off human cadavers. The process was quickly adopted by other institutions such as hospitals and universities that have donated body programs. The funeral industry had already started using it by 2011.
Removing medical devices before cremation
Some medical devices such as pacemakers or ICDs are not suitable to be incinerated in a crematory. These devices are sensitive electronic components, and can cause fire or an explosion. These devices can also be dangerous because they contain metals or plastics. The safety of cremation can be assured by professionals at crematoriums who can answer your questions about how to dispose of them.
Removal of clothing before cremation
This is a common question. While most materials are safe to include in the cremation, some materials might not. Your provider can advise you on what to do. You can also ask your funeral director to dress the deceased. Many materials are safe to use, however some synthetic fabrics can pose a danger. Before making final arrangements, make sure to consult a cremation guide if you have any questions.
Retrieval of cremated remains
Cremated remains are similar to coarse sand. They can be grayish to whitish in colour. Although these bones fragments look like ash in the end, they are actually bone remains. The cremation process does NOT completely burn the body. However, the cremation process removes any metallic material. The cremated remains are left with a grayish-white appearance. The cremains from a loved one's urn should be returned.
Cost of cremation
It is not always affordable to have cremation done in a crematorium. But there are ways you can reduce that cost. Preplanning and paying in advance for cremation services can be a good idea. You can always call the crematory to ask about preplanning fees.

How To
How to choose a name for your pet.
Choosing a name for your pet is one of the most important decisions you'll make when adopting a new animal into your home. Names should reflect the personality and character of your pet.
You should also consider how others might refer to them - if you're going to use their name in conversation, for example. And finally, you should think about how you yourself would like to be referred to. What do you prefer, for example, "dog" or pet?
Here are some tips to help you get started:
-
You should choose a name that suits your dog's breed. Look up the names of the breeds if you know the breed (e.g. Labradoodle). Ask someone with a good knowledge of dogs to suggest a name.
-
Think about the meaning of the name. Some breeds were named after people or specific places, while others are just names. One Labrador Retriever was named Rover because he loved to run!
-
What would you prefer to be called? Are you more comfortable calling your dog "dog" or "pet?" Would you call your dog "Puppy" or "Buddy"?
-
Make sure to include the owner's name. It is a smart idea to give your dog a name that includes both your first and last names. However, it doesn't mean you should limit yourself to just including the names of family members. Your dog could grow up to become a member of your family.
-
Many pets may have more than one name. A cat, for instance, could go by different names depending upon where she lives. When she visits her friends, she might be called "Kitty Cat" but "Molly", at home. This is especially true of cats who live outdoors. Cats often choose to adopt their name according to their surroundings.
-
Be creative There are no rules that say you have to follow a certain naming convention. Be unique and memorable in your choice.
-
Make sure that your chosen name doesn't already belong to another person or group. That way, you won't accidentally steal someone else's identity!
-
Last but not least, don't forget to remember that choosing a name can be a complicated process. Sometimes it takes time before you can determine if the name is right. Keep at it until you find the right match.
