Quick, routine cremation replaced funerals. To quote from the book where Montag is questioning his purpose as a 'fireman' and is confronted by his station chief Beatty:
Funerals are unhappy and pagan? Eliminate them, too. Five minutes after a person is dead he's on his way to the Big Flue, the Incinerators serviced by helicopters all over the country. Ten minutes after death a man's a speck of black dust. Let's not quibble over individuals with memoriams. Forget them. Burn them all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean."
In Fahrenheit 451, funerals were replaced by incineration, where the bodies of the deceased were burned to ashes. This reflects the society's focus on instant gratification and technology, with no time or thought given to mourning or honoring the dead.
