It’s a lot more structured than most people realise. Cremation isn’t just about high heat — it’s a tightly managed process using specialised machinery.
Cremators are built with controls to manage temperature, airflow, and timing. These are not basic ovens. Once cremation begins, the temperature rises to over 800 degrees Celsius and is carefully monitored by digital systems and sensors throughout the entire process.
Staff don’t just walk away and hope for the best. They’re constantly checking data on screens and making sure everything stays within the right range. It’s a bit like running a controlled operation in a science lab. This helped me feel more confident knowing my aunt’s cremation was being handled with that level of care and accuracy.
