The reduction OF, a numan body tt
bone ash by direct fire in open retorts
or on the pyre.
What is ineineratIon?
The reduction of the human body tc
bone ash by extreme heat in a closed
retort,
What difference is there between the
two processes as TO the final result?
None whatever, One is as efficient as
the other but moderation is preferred
by many for aesthetic and sentimental
reasons as no flame touches the body.
Which Of the two ways is in practice
at Fresh Pond?
Incarceration in a partly perforated
| fire clay retort.
Why perforated?
To allow for escape of gases during
the early part of the incineration.
| DO these gases escape directly into
the outer air?
| No, they pass first into combustion
chamber above the retort, temperature
two thousand degrees, where they are
burned and purified before entering the
| flues.
What is the actual time of complete
incarceration of a body?
FROM one to three hours, according
to condition, age and structure of the
body.
What ashes result?
From children, one-half to adults five
pounds per body.
How are they gathered at Fresh
Pond?
With steel tools from the bottom of
the retort; then the ash from the cloth
ing is famed out, iron particles re-
moved with magnet and the clean
pone ash securely placed in a black tin
canister and sealed.
what becomes of them after that?
Ihey are kept sealed and locked up at
the company's office until the family
selects an urn and niche and deposits
them at the columbarium, or takes
them away.
How about funeral services?
The new Urn Hall makes the impress
sion of chapel-any kind of full fun
eral services may be held there with
out extra charge. Clergymen, as a
rule, officiate at the house, occasionally
at the crematory; Masonic services
take place quite often; sometimes a
friend speaks; but organ, service is pro-
vided at Fresh Pond with every incine-
ration.
Is there any special provision as to
clothing?
None at Fresh Pond. The BODY. until
1t enters the crematory, is treated ex-
actly as If for earth burial The I'M
dertaker who had charge of it at the
house remains with it until the retort
1t. The wrapping in an alum
soaked muslin sheet serves only to pre- |
vent premature ignition of clothing
pending the moment of introduction |
into the retort. Otherwise the clothing
remains untouched.
cremation is altogether optional in
this country?
1t is up to the present. Epidemics
may compel the authorities to make it
