When they cremate someone do they burn the coffins?

Yes, most crematories require a cremation container.  That can be either a casket specifically designed for cremation or a corrugated cremation box.  I have cremated a solid mahogany casket before though, at the request of the family!!

After cremation, your ashes can be made into diamonds for jewelry, etc.\n\nhttp://www.lifegem.com/

I would think it would depend on whether there is going to be a viewing or not and whether they are being cremated or burried.  When I die, I definitely do NOT want to be embalmed and I will also be cremated, thx.

First they have to be sent to the lab for pathology.  After that the hospital will either oversee cremation or the part will be sent to a mortuary for preparation.  Many religions emphasize being buried with all the parts of one's body.  In these cases the detatched parts are embalmed and cared for like any full body would be.  They are then buried where the person will be buried when they pass away.

No, there is no reason for underwear on the deceased.\nAll that is supplied is their outer garments.\nIf the body is too big for the casket, there will also be an absence of shoes.\nYet, again it also can depend upon the requests of the next of kin to the deceased or who is paying for the services as well.

on the coffin some if payed for have keylocks on the lids.  Then in most cases the coffin is put into a cememt vault that is sealed with tar rope, if extra money is payed they vault can also be sprayed with tar to keep it air tight.   Then since we are talking about grave robbers some cemetaries lock thier gates at night and they police are supposed to do at least one drive by and search of the fence or walls of said cemetary.

burying and burning r the common practices.however the parsis(zorashtrians) lower the dead body into a well and the eagles come and eat it.sometimes the body is beaten with shoes so it attracts the birds.\nin the harappan days people used to bury the dead bodies intheir courtyard with ornaments,weapons and food.

Could they have been cremated? Hmm... hope you find out! Good luck! :)

Only when the body of the deceased is covered with a sheet, way up to the chin, then that deceased person won't wear shoes.\n\nOn the other hand, yes.

If you think or have been told Islam does this you are wrong. A Muslim body is washed, cleaned, wrapped in white cloth then scented with perfume/cologne. Then he/she is buried in a simple grave with no tombstone and no coffin. Every Muslim should be buried like this except Martyrs. They are buried the way they die (cloth and all) with no coffin and no tombstone.\n\nIf you have seen or been told Muslims practice this, I suggest you advise them to stop because it is not part of Islam.

They rot in a pine box, unless cremated, or left out in the open, in which case they just rot.

Different states have different laws on this issue.  Your remains will be cremated after they are used as teaching tools for up and coming doctors.  It's fascinating!  The people I have known who did donate themselves were very sick; many surgeries and disease processes that will educate others.  It doesn't cost anything where we live and they come to get the body once that person has passed on.  They are very respectful.  Most folks have a memorial ceremony because they really don't have a time schedule on the use of the cadavar.  You can call the state you're in to find out more; or even call a hospice facility about body donation and they give you more detailed information.  Godloveya.

Some people say that, some people don't believe it.  \nI have some of my grandmother's ashes, and some of my uncle's, and all me and my family members bring them with us when we go on vacation somewhere great we think they'd like to have gone, so they can come with us, and we sprinkle some of their ashes so a part of them can stay there!  \nWhether you believe that sort of thing is fun and respectful or totally horrible depends on your individual beliefs.  I believe also that ashes kept in an urn are considered interred because they have their final resting place, it's just not in the ground.

I have asked myself that question too so I did a little checking and I found out some information, for some cemetaries the use the stocked body solution some the cremation but what I found more interesting is that there taking existing land that belong formally to home owners and turning them in to cemetary land. I know here in California we have had plenty of scandal over the years about that and rest assure that is the question that is constantly being asked is where do the bodies go? In the cemetary my mom is buried at they have redeveloped land that was formally from owners who they have bought the land from and turned it into part of the cemetary  which now the place where my mother is at has lots of land there, we were fortunate that we got a new portion of the land before most of the land was taken because there are people dying every 24 seconds and that is true..But next time check your local cemetaries and see how much land they have left and check if they plan to redevelop land for that purpose I did and I was glad I did!

I'm pretty sure they incinerate it, but it would all depend on where you are in the world. Probably some places bury it.
