Cremation is the process of taking a body after death and reducing it to a small amount of remains. This is most commonly done by using extreme heat to burn away organic matter until only bone is left, then further processing the skeletal remains into sand-like particles. A less-common form of cremation, alkaline hydrolysis, forgoes heavy carbon emissions from fuels by using a combination of water, lye, pressure, and a lesser heat to dissolve organic matter. Both traditional cremation and "green cremation" will produce cremated remains made of pulverized bones that are returned to surviving family for possession, burial, scattering, or other final rest.
