For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The coffins used for cremation are different to those used for a brial, they look the same from the outside but are actually made of a light composite material which burns down more easily to a smaller amount of ash.
The coffin is not usually put into the furnace during the service, when it dissapears from view it is taken to a storage room and put into the furnace later that day.
Most crematorium try to do the creamating when there are no services on but it will depend how busy they are.
All coffins are put in seperatly and each furnace is allowed to cool and is cleaned between each cremation to ensure there can be no confusuin or mixup with other peoples ashes.
The coffins are treated with great respect and every care is taken to ensure that every part of the remains is sifted, ground down and put into the casket.
If a casket is not collected by the family within a set period (usually six months) the ashes as scattered, in a simple service, by the Crematorium staff within the ground and careful records are kept as to where each set are placed just in case any relatives come back latter and ask.
hope this helps
