I am not particularly interested in "green" cemetaries and burial, =
but I am interested in cremation. My understanding is that not the =
entire body is placed in the small "casket" or box or whatever it is =
called. The excess material is simply thrown out on the pile in back of =
the crematorium. I don't think I would be content to know that any part =
of my wife's body was disposed of in this way. Can any one explain =
exactly what the proceedure is?

p.s. You may not have given thought to this, but cremation uses a =
huge amount of combustible material and also puts considerable =
pollutants in the air, particularly if the body has been embalmed and =
teeth with mercury fillings have not been removed prior to. We have =
been informed that no Nova Scotia crematoria have filters on their =
stacks to mitigate this problem.
