Yes, when a person infected with MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is cremated, the high temperatures during the cremation process effectively kill the bacteria. The intense heat reaches levels that destroy microorganisms, including MRSA. Therefore, there is no risk of transmission or infection from the cremated remains.

How can someone get MRSA from a person who was treated and cured?

While the disease caused by MRSA may have been cured, it doesn't mean that the person doesn't carry any MRSA germs on his or her body. Many, many people are colonized with MRSA -- it lives on them without causing disease. "Cure" in the case of a MRSA-related rash or boil means that the skin problem is cured, but not that all MRSA has been eliminated from the person.
