The remains of a dead body after cremation are called 'cremains'.
It depends on the situation or the application. For a cremated body it is simply refered to as ashes For fertilization purposes it is called bone meal In the case of geological demineralization it is called a fossil.
Ashes, more accurately, are groundup bone fragments that are left over from what is left in the oven after someone is cremated. Even though every attmpt is made by the crematory operator to retrieve all leftover cremated remains from the crematory oven, it is impossible to scrape out every bone fragment or particle that remains after the human body has been burned.
When a person is cremated, their body is placed in a high-temperature furnace, typically between 1400-1800 degrees Fahrenheit. The intense heat reduces the body to bone fragments and ashes. These remains are then processed into a fine powder and returned to the family in an urn.
It seems there may be a typo in your question. Did you mean "cremated"? If so, cremated refers to the process of reducing a deceased body to ashes and bone fragments through combustion. This method is commonly used for handling funeral arrangements and disposing of human remains.
Human cremation typically takes place at temperatures between 1400-1800 degrees Fahrenheit (760-982 degrees Celsius). At these high temperatures, human ash will be completely burned up into small bone fragments, which are then further processed into a fine powder to create what is commonly referred to as cremated remains or ashes.
The amount of cremated remains from a fully grown adult typically ranges between 4 to 8 pounds (1.8 to 3.6 kilograms) after the cremation process. This can vary based on factors such as the individual’s body composition and the cremation method used. The ashes consist primarily of bone fragments that have been processed into a fine powder.
When someone is cremated, their body is placed in a special chamber called a cremation furnace, where it is exposed to high temperatures of around 1400-1800 degrees Fahrenheit. This process typically takes 2-3 hours and reduces the body to bone fragments. The remains are then processed into a fine powder called cremains, which are given to the family in an urn. Any metal implants or dental fillings are removed and disposed of separately.
Gold does not vaporize. Once a body is cremated, the remains are put into a machine called a Cremulator. This grinds the leftover bone into a fine ash. Items not destroyed through the cremation process (artificial hips, gold teeth) are then extracted. Some crematoria recycle precious metals and donate the proceeds to charity. Others keep the profits.
A body is placed for about three hours in a chamber filled with heated, pressurized water and alkali. The process dissolves the body into 120 gallons of liquid, which is then disposed of. The bone is reduced to a powder which can, like traditionally cremated remains, be stored in an urn.
On average, the ashes of a cremated person weigh about nine pounds.
The conclusion after dipping a bone in water is that the bone is not leached, its calcium remains intact, and the bone remains as brittle as before.
After cremation, most of the body's organic material is reduced to ash, leaving primarily bone fragments and some trace elements. While drug residues are largely destroyed in the process, certain substances may still be detectable in the remaining bone material or in the cremation ashes, though this is highly variable. Toxicology tests on these remains could potentially indicate prior substance use, but conclusively proving an overdose is challenging due to the extensive alteration of the material during cremation. Therefore, identification of an overdose from cremated remains is generally not reliable.
