[Clayart] Cremation statistic

[Paul Randall]

Why do I keep getting emails from clay-art that tell me my account is disabled dye to excessive bounce backs? Is that a scam? This happens even when I have not posted to clayart.

Subject: [Clayart] Cremation statistic

56% of Americans now choose cremation. It is a big industry in
the country. It is a serious occupation, and you have to go
to school, degree etc. It is under state control.

I spent a few hours with the director of the Twin Cities Society
and was very impressed with the furnace system, technique and the
tremendous seriousness that the folks that do it are trained for.

Some of the furnaces now have viewing ports with glass windows for
East Indians that prefer to see the body burn...as happens in India.
(lots of ritual.)

The stack of the furnace has a scrubber system to eliminate the odor
from going around the neighborhood.

The body is often placed in a wooden/carboard box. There is a wheeled trolley
system, I do believe the temp for final cremation is about 1800F. About
2-3 hours. Then the cool down.  He was vague about what happens to the
big hopper full of remains. It is not land fill for sure. I imagine it goes
into some sort of special fertilizer.

It is frightening what they sell for urns. Cheap wooden boxes and metal
containers and commercial pots with polka dots and silly designs...but, who
am I to dictate taste. An Amish family up the road makes gorgeous pine caskets
for just a couple hundred bucks.
