Have you ever been a witness of a creamation of a loved one? Are you behind a glass door? does it smell when the body is being cremated? I always wondered how they do it with people and cats...I could of been there at my mom's creation but i just could not do it but i did take a small keepsake urn home with me with part of her ashes...the other part of her ashes are buried in her urn in her grave. My cat casey also, died recently and i could of been at her cremation too, but i also declined.
The family does not witness the actual cremation, although they may watch the body (usually in a cardboard cremation container, but nonetheless always covered) being placed into the cremation chamber. The entire process takes about 4 hours, the bodies are cremated at about 1800 degrees, and because there are so many filters and afterburners, there is no smell. The chamber is designed to fire strongly at the torso, as that is the thickest portion of your body. There is usually a small "viewing" or "witness" room for the family to watch them being placed into the chamber. Hope this helps, take care!
