Cremation is another method of disposition of human remains at the time of one's death.
In Cremation a person's body is reduced to small pieces of bone fragments by a process of intense heat. The end result is referred to as cremated remains, ashes, or, sometimes, cremains. Cremation is a very old process, dating back as far as the Stone Age. For much of human history, Cremation was very common, both in the East and West. In the early Christian era Cremation declined in the West, since early Christians preferred earth burial.
