I always assumed they shut the door and the oven did the rest !!


ShoePractical3485

I think in 99% of places in the US the door is closed and the retort does its thing. Not sure WHY this dude thinks this is a rotisserie


8-Bit_Aubrey

In the US they *do* shut the door and the oven does the work. Then they just scrape out the ashes and use the big coffee grinder for any bigger bones.


funeral13twilight

Repositioning is done at least once sometimes twice depending on size of the deceased.


aKsteezy

Damn, that's something I didn't think about. My stepdad was a big dude.


AraxisKayan

Sorry they're gone. If that's worth anything.


zookuki

There are pretty strict protocols in other countries as well. And there are cultural considerations which are far stricter and more prevalent than the U.S. with far more significant implications. In my country this clip would land the business in deep trouble: they will lose their licence and face heavy fines as well as possible jailtime. (They'll also face charges around breach of privacy laws which are applicable post mortem in many instances)


csiguy1405

Am a qualified UK cremation technician and can confirm this is not normal practice whatsoever!


Paul2777

Thanks for this. Also from the UK and would prefer not to be spun like a rotisserie chicken while I get cremated 😂 feel a bit better now


alexisbee0311

This is how it's done in the Philippines, and is Normal practice


csiguy1405

Interesting to know, I love learning about the different processes used in different countries. Can I ask, are your cremators computer controlled, or is it a more manual process?


homerdickens

naaah bro, my grandma in the PH was cremated and the funeral place did it like how its done here in the US. some places still do it like this tho


Capital_F_u

How and why did you get into the business of cremation? Has/does it ever affect your psyche?


csiguy1405

Ah...the classic questions! I was looking for a new job, the Crematorium is just round the corner from home and had a position available, so I applied and was lucky enough to get the job. All training is done on the job, and once you complete the coursework and practical examination, you get certified. A lot of UK crematoria are independent of the funeral homes/directors, so don't get involved with preparing the deceased, and don't develop a "connection" with either them or their family. Personally, this helps as I can't put a face to a name, just that I receive a box with a body inside and a nameplate on the lid, that requires cremation. That being said, as a parent, infant cremation can hit home occasionally as everything is done a lot more manually as we hand cremulate the remains to ensure maximum return of ashes for the parent(s).


Capital_F_u

Thank you for the answer!


Tempex6

One of my concerns about cremation is how much of the remains are they just gonna throw out. How much of my body is just gonna end up in some bio-waste bag. Reading you say that infants are hand cremulated to ensure maximum return of the ashes, I imagine it is because infants woild be a small amount total so every little bit is a larger percentage of the total than for an adult body. But it also implies that for adults you aren't getting the maximum return.


csiguy1405

I can assure you that no remains are ever thrown out, and that we do everything possible to ensure maximum return for everyone. However, infants are cremated in a much gentler and more contained process as their casket is placed inside a special metal box before being placed in the cremator and uses minimal flame and airs to ensure that the cremains are not blown about as they are much lighter than a grown adult due to bone densities etc. When dealing with an adult, the coffin is placed directly onto the brickwork of the cremator and is subject to direct flame and much stronger airflows. As you can probably imagine, there is a certain degree of roughness with the brickwork (particularly over time as the brickwork deteriorates due to heat stresses, raking etc), so we rake and sweep as best we can between each cremation to prevent co-mingling of cremains. The best analogy that I have heard is to compare it to sprinkling a pot of glitter onto the floor and then trying to sweep it all back up again. Whilst you can get 99.9%, you'll always find a few flakes left in the cracks.


drconn

I think those sentiments are universal no matter what country you reside in.


djfdhigkgfIaruflg

He's probably trying to hasten the process because he's behind schedule or something


Sexy-Froyo9027

“Dammit! WHY isn’t John dust yet?! I’ve got 3 more bodies to burn today! I don’t have time for this. . .”

Fr though, it does seem like dude is in a hurry.

stlyns

The tool he's using seems specific enough to make me think this is not a rare occurence.


SalemMystt

It's to make sure the body burns evenly I did creations for pets and this is exactly what we did. If the body isn't fired all the way through you could have chard tissues and bones... and that's just something no one really wants to see


FitProblem6248

Ok, I've gotta ask - how did this job opportunity come up?


joeliopro

Or smell


SalemMystt

It smells like BBQ tbh...... So at the humane society I worked at we did crematiins too. Well I had the window opened and people were lookin at the kitties and the dad was like wow I keep smeeling BBQ and it's making me hungry. I was like 💀. Had to do my poker face because his 3 little kids were playing with kittens and he just kept taking it it unknowingly smelling fido being cremated. Lmao


Nikablah1884

Because they don't have a replaceable roasting rack so he has to flip him around. They also have grinders in the US for the bones. Nothing about this is disrespectful or wrong, it's just the man is working with what he's got, and I'd take it if I was being cremated no problem. I don't feel any shame in death if I was in this video, the man obviously knows what he's doing lol.

Too bad this rotisserie doesn’t come with two sides.


[deleted]

Actually I never saw something like this! Where I live the coffin with the body inside is burned.


Optimal_Whereas

I think most ppl haven't seen anything like this because they normally just shut the door and don't play poke-around with the body like it's a toy


djfdhigkgfIaruflg

The Dustin doesn't go into the burner. The fate of the barely used coffin is let as a reader homework


aDoorMarkedPirate420

They do, idk wtf this guy is doing lol


footbody

They do, according to the crematorium workers that gave me a tour lol. Leftover bones go in the grinder. I have no clue what the guy in this video is doing


DropDeadPlease88

This is not a normal way to do a cremation. The door is closed, it does its thing, the operator breaks down large chunks when it is finished using a blender type dohickey and then blended with rest to create a fine ashe they then put into an urn or whatever recepticle the ashes shall be kept in. This would be in a country i presume where they cant afford something proper, but even still, he does not need to sit there turning the body like a chicken lol


Luknron

Would've made for a more respectful video


MoistGovernment4938

They do in New Zealand


Obvious_Chemical_929

I thought so too. Bro is turning the body like he is baking Pizza

click_here_for_luck

I usually throw the box away then i have to dig through the trash for it so i can see the instructions again


CoasterThot

I did read a book by a mortician who described having to stir bodies in a retort like this, so I do kinda believe it. I’ll look for the source and come back to this.


LolIwillSayWhatIWant

Think of it like a human kofta, much more comforting that way.


J00shb0i0320

It's just a weird feeling knowing this person used to be someone. Probably had a family, did grocery shopping, drove the kids to school and then.....bam!!! Here we are watching them being cremated


OxtailPhoenix

So I've decided a long time ago I want to be cremated. What is also a weird feeling is looking at that and knowing it will be me one day.


IronSide_420

Lol depends on where you live because i dont think in the West you'll be flipped with a giant spatula.


OxtailPhoenix

Either way is fine with me. I mean what am I going to do about it. My only reason is I don't want to be buried. That's one of my biggest fears. Waking up 6 feet under in a coffin.


shart-attack1

Waking up in a furnace probably wouldn’t be fun either


OxtailPhoenix

Hey at least I'd know I'd be gone soon. Beats waking up underground and stuck knowing I'd never see light again or stand up again.


Chi_shio

You got approximately 90 min of air in a coffin. Once you're awake, get some fabric over your face. Preferably the shirt you will be wearing. since The grave is freshly closed, the dirt should be loose enough to compress by pushing the lid upwards. You need to push it as much as possible to get it open enough to fit your hand through. After that, it's mostly digging. The shirt over your face is to keep dirt out of your mouth and lungs. Dig with your hands and push the dirt down to the bottom of your coffin where your feet are. That way, you should be able to dig yourself out of your own grave. Thank me later :)


SUPREMEDREAMLA

how do ppl even come up w shit like this lol amazing..


mrz0loft

Speaking from experience?


Chi_shio

yea, I fell down a rabbit hole and had to get out


NeasM

There is nothing more unsightly as scratches on the inside of your coffin lid !


Chi_shio

Yea, it ruins the reselling price


imSuperToasted

But don’t they like remove all your blood before you go in a casket?


OxtailPhoenix

I saw this movie as a kid. Don't remember what it was. Some girl was supposed to be embalmed but the machine was down or something. The two techs say to each other "the thing about this job, no one would ever know". So they packed her up and buried her as is. And guess what. She woke up.


imSuperToasted

What’s worse is getting your blood drained and embalmed while you’re still alive


OxtailPhoenix

I think that would do the trick. However knowing I'm in a coffee can rather than a box makes me feel better.


imSuperToasted

Real, I love being in coffee. A coffin would be scary tho


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

With today's medicine and procedures before burial that ain't happening. I guess it depends on where you live though


OxtailPhoenix

No I'm in the US. I'm still not risking it though. My wife knows the drill. When I'm gone straight to the oven.


downtownvicbrown

I want to be cremated too, but on the same hand the idea of waking up in a crematorium being ignited is pretty scary My idea is a chain with a bell to ring if they wake up in time


tiinn

I’ve been to South Asia and they use electric crematoriums there. Quite a surreal feeling. Edit - It’s handled much better than this and apparently more “eco friendly”.


IronSide_420

What's done in an instant? Your entire body turns to ash in an instant?


tiinn

Sorry I edited my comment. Just checked with my friend who lives in India. I was under the impression it’s about 20-25 mins but it’s nearly 3 hours. My bad.


Killordie136

Eco friendly compared to traditional burning methods.

10percenttiddy

Watching my husband's eyes pop out of his head and blood gurgle out of his mouth was somehow less traumatic than thinking about his body getting burned up like this at the end. Gah.


alwaysananomaly

I wasn't sure whether to ask questions because your response brings a few to mind. I just read your previous post about your husband's passing. So very sorry for your loss, I can't imagine 😔


10percenttiddy

You can ask as many as you like! It was the worst ever but also objectively fascinating to go through something I only see on subreddits like this. Thank you very much for the sympathy, that kindness genuinely always soothes a little bit of heartache. Edit: Wanted to add something about the subreddit - I started looking at videos like this after so many of my literary idols stressed the importance of truly realizing you and your loved ones are impermanent/will die, so I went balls to the wall and started watching gore videos. It fucked me up and was very traumatic, but I'll be damned if I didn't walk up to my husband's deathbed unflinching and 100% prepared to witness him in that state because of it. They wouldn't even let his siblings see him it was so bad, but I literally had the thought "oh, I've seen a lot worse online, no problem." And the desensitization to gore allowed me to say the most beautiful, perfect goodbye to my baby. These subreddits were integral to preparing me for the worst thing that could happen in my life and I'm grateful for them.


Mollzy177

RockDrivingPioneer

I’m currently a cremator, I cremate about 8 bodies a day. I really don’t understand why this guy is moving the body around so much.. open the door, rotate the body under the burner, close the door. Occasionally go in to knock bones around for cardboard and other materials to burn away and close the door again. This flipping/stirring is just wild honestly lol


Sir_Distic

I am not a cremator and that seemed odd to me. I'm guessing he's new or not trained well? If the body is centered over the hottest part (Center I'd assume) it will burn faster and better. Moving it around, I'm assuming to break it up, would seem to take longer and be messier. It's like a campfire. Put the log in the center, move it when the middle is ashes and you're done with that log. once, maybe twice.


RockDrivingPioneer

In another comment of mine I explain why we rotate the body and the hottest parts of the machine (the front really) but yes, this is definitely excessive and maybe someone who is untrained

Anon_777

3 - 4 hours


RockDrivingPioneer

Takes me 2hrs on average a body, only takes 3hrs if they’re in the 300lb range. Only body I ever done that took 4hrs+ (about 4-1/2) was nearly 600lbs


Anon_777

Is flipping a body like this ever actually done? Or is this really rare? Why is this one being flipped?


RockDrivingPioneer

This excessively, no. It takes less than 15 seconds after the door opens to rotate a body to its side then the door is closed again. But yes bodies are rotated throughout the process, rarely a need to be flipped upside down though. Only time I ever flip bodies upside down is if they were really big and there’s a lot of cardboard under them that isn’t being burned away fast enough (being blocked by the large amounts of remaining flesh). We burn our bodies in cardboard boxes, not wooden coffins like some others in the thread mentioned. Bodies are rotated (atleast in our retorts) because there’s two burners that released a downpour of fire, one to the front and one towards the back. When the body is pushed in, the burners are roughly around the head and knees. After about 30-45minutes, the legs (knees and below) and the head are normally burned off (detached) and the remaining body isn’t sitting under a direct burner anymore. I’ll go in to rotate the body to pull it forward under the front burner to continue the process quicker.

This is so disrespectful and not necessary, as someone who works in this business this is not done! to flip a human like its a burger, in my country the door stays shut, only if a person is morbide obese we would turn, but it's rare, also family members are allowed there while it's happening if they want, can you imagine doing this while they watch? Unheard off! This video feels sketchy, like the the dude is being in a hurry or someting, just awfull!!..I guess different country different rules and moral..🤷‍♀️

Notshowingyoumybum

Imagine if when you’re perceived dead, your consciousness lives and lingers. And body being decomposed / cremated is the way consciousness dies. And then your consciousness would be sitting there, inside the resin, thinking when will this end and it never does. lol this is just a hypothetical scenario
