Are There Different Types Of Cremations?

Cremation services in Cartersville, GA are available in many different aspects. It is important to consider these factors when choosing one for a loved one. You will be better able to decide on the type of cremation service that best suits your loved one's and your family's needs if you are aware of the different cremation options available to you. Here are some of the basics of cremation. 

What Is Green Cremation? 

There are several environmentally friendly cremation options, such as bio cremation, aqua cremation, and even resomation. The corpse is reduced to bone ash using potassium hydroxide and water. 

What is the Difference Between Bio-Cremation and Traditional Cremation? 

Traditional Cremation 

Since intense heat and flame reduce the deceased's remains to bone fragments, cremation preserves the deceased's remains and can be used as an urn or buried in an urn. 

  • There is no one-size-fits-all cremation process 
  • Before the deceased is transferred to the crematorium, any pacemakers will be removed. 
  • Cremation begins when cremation containers are lowered into the crematorium 
  • Temperatures range from 1400 degrees to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit 
  • Bone fragments, as well as gold, jewelry, prosthetics, and other noncombustible materials, cannot be consumed at this extreme temperature. 
  • Cremations are usually separated by 12 to 3 hours 
  • A cremation chamber is brushed or raked clean when cremated remains have cooled 
  • By further processing the fragments into uniform particles, ashes are also created (also called cremated remains). 
  • Families are provided temporary urns in crematoria or can select one after cremation. 

Bio-Cremation 

In the process of oxidizing a deceased person's remains with alkali and water, the remains are reduced to bone fragments. Stainless steel cremation chambers are used to place the deceased under pressure while they are being cremated. 95 percent water and 5 percent alkali reach 302°F in a solution. An alkali solution, water, and heat gently re-circulate bone fragments in a sterile solution. In a sterile solution, bone fragments are gently re-circulated in water, alkali, and heat. Once the cremated remains are placed in the urn, the family selects the urn or chooses a temporary urn. There are many options to choose from. 


The End Result of Bio-Cremation 

It is possible to dispose of a deceased person through cremation with flames, bio-cremation, or burial. Transitions require stimuli in order to occur. There is only one difference between the two: time. Choose the cremation type that is right for your family and yourself. And choose the right way to deal with the ashes when the cremation is complete.
