Is the ash really ash? What are cremated remains?
Cremated remains or very fine bone fragments are the final product of the process of cremation.
Cremated remains are not “ash” at all. They are fine skeletal remains of the deceased. With the intense temperature and the cremation process what is left is bone fragments. These bone fragments are placed into a machine that reduces larger pieces of bone fragments into very fine pieces of bone known as cremated remains of the deceased.
Cremated remains or very fine bone fragments can vary in color depending on several factors, one being the cremation container that the deceased is cremated in. They can vary from a soft white to a dark gray color. Cremated remains or very fine bone fragments can vary in size or weight as well. Depending on the machine which reduces the larger bone fragments one’s cremated remains may have larger pieces of bone than having very fine pieces of bone.
Depending on the size of the deceased, the final product of cremated remains may be larger than another. After all it is skeletal remains, so obviously if one is taller and has larger skeletal mass one would have more bone fragments or cremated remains.
