You might want to turn away from this interesting video if you know someone who has recently undergone cremation. It shows exactly what happens during the process.
The simulation walks you through the entire cremation process step-by-step and is startling even if it isn’t particularly graphic. There’s one stage in particular that will surprise you and can cause you to reevaluate your end-of-life arrangements.
If we’re fortunate enough, we’ll live to be very old. However, you don’t have to wait to be very old to make arrangements for your estate; all you need to do is draft a will and put your wishes down in it.
The customary burial, which entails being buried six feet below ground with engravings on a monument, is one of numerous options available.
One of those is a natural burial where bodies are placed in biodegradable coffins, usually made of materials like wood and bamboo, and placed six feet under the surface with no headstone.
Naturally, this permits your body to break down organically. The procedure promotes biodiversity and aids in the preservation of natural environments. Thus, if you care about the environment, you might choose this in the future.
However, the most widely used substitute is cremation, which YouTuber Zack D.Films discusses in a new, brief video.
He says: “When you die your body is placed in a specially designed furnace that can reach 1800 degrees.
“Now the intense heat reduces the body to bone fragments and ashes within about two to three hours.”
Well, it’s probably what we all assumed had happened to us, but I was totally unprepared for what happened next.
The content creator continued: “Afterward, a magnet is used to remove any metal objects like surgical pins, hidden piercings and dental implants.”
Now, I don’t know about you, but I got a little uncomfortable when I heard that teeth, pins, and piercings are removed from the ashes using a magnet.
I believe it’s most likely the realization that all that’s left of this individual is a filling, or a gold tooth, for example—gone.
The last stage of cremation is described as follows by him: “Then the remaining bone fragments are processed into a fine powder, which is combined with the residual ash, and placed in an urn.”
When you die away, what do you want to happen to your body?
