"The Cremation of Sam McGee" is a poem by Robert W. Service that tells the story of a prospector named Sam McGee who, despite his love for warmth, dies in the cold of the Yukon. His friend, who narrates the poem, promises to fulfill Sam's dying wish to be cremated. The narrator struggles with the cold and the task of building a fire, ultimately succeeding in incinerating Sam's body. In a twist, when the narrator opens the cremation box, he finds Sam alive and well, having tricked him into starting the fire for his own comfort.
