Yes, bones do burn during cremation, but they do not completely disintegrate. Instead, they are reduced to fragments due to the high temperatures, which typically range from 1400 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit (760 to 982 degrees Celsius). After the cremation process, the remaining bone fragments are processed into finer particles, commonly referred to as ashes or cremains.
