What happens when someone is cremated and what is the process involved in the cremation of a body?
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.

Potassium cyanide is not used in the cremation process. Any trace amounts of cyanide found in cremated remains would likely come from environmental exposure prior to cremation, rather than being a byproduct of the cremation process itself.

Can you get DNA from cremated dust?
No, the ash from a properly conducted cremation will not contain any DNA. It can't. The heat of cremation is far too high to permit any living material that is exposed to it to survive. When remains are fully cremated, only the ash is left. This may not be entirely true of a body burned on a pyre, unless sufficient fuel is added to permit the long bones and joints to be completely burned, though not necessarily to ash.The problem with incomplete cremation can be looked at like a problem in sterilization, a process wherein germs and such are killed on things like band-aids surgical instruments, etc. Heating the materials to boiling plus a bit more and holding them there for a short period allows the heat to dissociate proteins, and that's what kills "bugs" during sterilization.

However, specific practices may vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to consult local regulations.
What is liquid cremation?

When a person is cremated why are there no chunks of gold in the ashes does the undertaker take the teeth out or does the gold vaporize?
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.
