As for the most discussed item on the Internet: "Before cremation, the remains need to be opened", is there any scientific basis for this statement? Today, let's discuss it together.
The funeral industry actually belongs to a relatively unpopular industry. Many people think that "funeral industry" is profiteering, and there is a deep inside story behind it. The funeral industry is indeed more profitable, not only because it has a very unique industrial value, but also because its industry threshold is relatively high.
From hospital mortuary to funeral parlour and crematorium, the three are closely related and belong to one-stop service. The funeral industry also has high professional and technical requirements for employees. Generally speaking, most capable people in this industry are also engaged in this industry, and they can't eat this industry without a little skill.
Take the body makeup artist who everyone is interested in, don't think that makeup can do the job. The task of the body makeup artist in the funeral home is not just to make up. Their job is not only to clean up the remains of the deceased, but also to repair the damaged appearance of the deceased. When you help the dead make up, you should also help them put on the shroud.
The technical content of pyrotechnic chemicals in cremation workshop is higher. Usually, the fire chemicals in funeral homes are "skilled" and have been working for 10 years. Many experienced people, after the death of a family member, will go to the funeral home to find someone to do some work in advance, and spend some money privately to find an experienced old cremation to help cremate the remains of their relatives, and will not let novices operate.
The body cremated in the funeral home is not what everyone thinks: turn on the stove and push it in.
Usually, before the remains enter the cremator, experienced firefighters need to separate the abdomen of the deceased with iron hooks or sharp tools and cut the internal organs. Although this operation sounds cruel, the picture can't bear to look straight, but if this step is missing, the consequences will be very serious.
An explosion occurred when the 78-year-old man was cremated, and the workers at the scene broke out in a cold sweat. In the winter of 20 14, uncle Wang, a 78-year-old villager, accidentally fell down and had an acute cerebral infarction. A few days after being rescued in the hospital, he died unfortunately because of his injuries.
When the old man's children took care of his affairs, an incredible thing happened, which scared someone in the place into a cold sweat.
On the same day, Uncle Wang's children sent his body to funeral home cremation County. According to the memories of three cremation workers at that time, the old man's body burned in the cremation furnace for 20 minutes, and suddenly there was a loud noise in the furnace, and then the workers heard firecrackers in the furnace.
The three workers who cremated Uncle Wang are all novices. They have never experienced such a thing, and they are stunned by this scene. After hearing the noise, they subconsciously turned off the electric switch of the cremator and quickly opened the observation window of the cremator to see the situation inside. At that time, the wall of the cremator was covered with a layer of white unknown liquid.
Just when everyone was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do, an experienced old fireman in the cremation workshop rushed in, glanced at the situation in the cremation furnace and concluded that this white liquid should be the body fat of this body.
Laohuo Chemical said that because the temperature in the furnace was too high, the body exploded during the combustion process, generating huge air pressure, and the fat of the body overflowed in the form of oil and stuck to the surface of the fireplace.
Later, introduced by Uncle Wang's children, Uncle Wang loved meat very much and was fat. When he died, his weight was much higher than that of the elderly of the same age, and his body also suffered from three high diseases. It is precisely because Uncle Wang has too much fat and high water content. Under the action of fire, a large amount of gas is released, which leads to explosion.
Subsequently, Laohuo Chemical picked up the iron rake next to it and smashed the exhaust pipe of the cremation furnace, so that the gas in the furnace could be discharged quickly, avoiding greater harm.
Perhaps seeing this, many people will say that this situation is only a special case in the cremation process. If the deceased was not fat, this explosion would certainly not have happened during cremation.
This situation like uncle Wang is not a special case. 20 15 A similar corpse explosion occurred in a funeral home in Fushun, Liaoning.
When the 85-year-old Mrs. Lin was cremated, there was a sudden explosion, and the ashes of the old man were scattered all over the place, and the scene was a mess. In 20 15, 85-year-old Mrs. Lin died of illness in Fushun, Liaoning. After the old lady died, her family sent her body to funeral home cremation. I thought the old lady could leave peacefully, but what happened during cremation shocked everyone.
According to the memories of the family members of the elderly, before cremation, the family members asked the funeral home to provide the best cremation stove. Under the arrangement of the funeral home, after the family members completed the farewell ceremony, the fire chemical industry pushed the old man's body into the cremation furnace.
At that time, the workers in charge of cremation also said that less than half an hour after cremation, the old man suddenly heard a "crackling" sound in the furnace. The chemical industry didn't care because the temperature in the furnace was too high, and then he heard this abnormal sound several times, as if something had exploded.
When it was cremation time, the fire chemical industry turned on the stove. The sight in front of us shocked everyone. I saw ashes scattered everywhere in the stove, and the mat containing the remains had been blown to pieces.
When cremated, why did the chemical industry cut the belly of the remains? Many netizens expressed doubts about the cremation of the remains. When the remains are cremated, will their stomachs swell after being burned at high temperature? Do you need to cut your stomach at this time? Some netizens also said that this kind of operation is purely nonsense, mainly because they have not witnessed it.
In fact, there are many customs in funeral culture, and many methods of dealing with remains have been lost. For example, most people say that they have never seen the practice of blocking the anus and mouth and nose with cotton after death. In fact, in this routine medical practice, many experienced doctors will order nurses to bet cotton on the patient's nose to prevent harmful substances from flowing out after the patient dies. When the undertaker helps the undertaker, he will also block the anus with cotton, which has the same effect.
When cremating, it is also a routine operation in petrochemical industry to cut open the abdomen of the remains with iron hooks, which has certain scientific basis behind it.
1. Prevent the remains from "exploding" due to the high temperature in the furnace during cremation.
After death, the body will change. After the function of the body gradually loses its function, in a closed environment, bacteria and harmful substances in the human body will multiply in large quantities, and then some harmful substances and toxic gases will be produced. This is also the reason why people will do anal obstruction immediately after death.
In addition, if there are still some undigested food residues in the body before death and they are not discharged in time, a large number of microorganisms will be produced after fermentation, forming gas, so the remains will look swollen.
Just like the uncle Wang who suffered from "three highs" in the above article, he was fat before his death and contained a lot of fat in his body. When he was cremated, the high temperature in the furnace caused Uncle Wang's body fat to swell, spewing out a lot of gas, which led to the explosion of the body.
When cremation workers cremate the remains, they will use sharp tools to cut the abdomen of the remains, in order to let people discharge the harmful gases in their bodies smoothly when burning. To make a very inappropriate analogy, when selling roast duck, it is also to open the roast duck in advance and then roast it. If there is no man-made damage, the duck will burst suddenly with the temperature rising gradually. The processing principle of the two is actually the same.
2. It is to help the remains be cremated as soon as possible.
It may be that cremation workers rarely treat the remains in this way at present, mainly because cremation technology is more advanced and cremation equipment is better than before. In particular, some funeral homes have also introduced different kinds of cremators. The higher the price, the better the cremator and the faster the cremation time.
At present, the temperature of cremators in funeral homes is around 800 -900 degrees, and some even reach the high temperature of 1000 degrees. The whole cremation process is controlled by computer without manual operation. In this case, even if the remains are not cut, they can be instantly burned to ashes. In the past, when the funeral industry was underdeveloped, cremation technology was realized, and the cremation process was all handled manually. In order to ensure the smooth progress of cremation, firefighters will always observe the process of cremation.
When the cremation of a certain part of the body is uneven, the body will be hooked to a place where the fire is relatively strong with an iron hook. When the body is found to expand, it will also hook up to make it burn better.
What is the cremation process? Birth, old age, illness and death are the inevitable process of life, and crematorium is the last stop of life journey. Many people are very afraid of places like hospitals and funeral homes. There are only two reasons for coming here: either to bid farewell to your loved ones or to bid farewell to yourself.
At present, many funeral homes do not allow family members to watch the remains when they are cremated. The main reason is that they are afraid of being sad after seeing the whole process. Usually, they are asked to wait in the cremation hall. When the remains are cremated, the hall broadcast will inform them to converge the ashes of the deceased.
So some people may be curious, what is the cremation process of the remains? Today, I will share with you the "cold knowledge" about cremation.
1. Before cremation, a farewell ceremony should be held for the remains, and relatives and friends will finally come out to bid farewell to the deceased.
2. After the body says goodbye, the funeral home staff will push the body into the cremation room to prepare for cremation. Before cremation, the staff will check the remains to see if there are spots and smells on them, mainly to prevent the occurrence of suspended animation.
3. Later, the clothes of the remains will also be inspected. If there are some metal ornaments on the shroud that need to be taken down, and if there are some precious jewels that need to be taken down for family members, these metals are not conducive to cremation of the remains.
Then, before the body enters the cremator, the cremator will separate the abdomen of the deceased with sharp tools and cut the internal organs. Scar is not very big, usually a very small wound, and it is all in an inconspicuous part.
5. For civilized and hygienic cremation, the remains are put into disposable packaging boxes (bags), and the packaging boxes (bags) are cremated with the remains. According to the level of scientific and technological content, the stoves used to cremate remains are divided into ordinary stoves, luxury stoves and high-grade stoves, and the prices of different cremators are also different.
6. In the process of cremation, the cremation union oiled the remains, usually spraying diesel oil, and a corpse used up to 8 kilograms of oil. If the body has more fat, it burns faster and releases less oil.
7. The car body will be heated after being sprayed with oil. First, the cremator should be preheated to 200 degrees. When clothes, hair and fat are burned, the temperature will rise to 400-500℃. When organs and muscle tissues burn, the cremator will rise to 600℃. The temperature will rise to 800-900℃ after bone burning. It usually takes 45- 120 minutes after burning to ashes.
8. After cremation, firemen will leave some humanoid ashes and some fragmentary bones, and then hook them out. Inform family members to come in and collect ashes for their loved ones, which is also called "collecting bones". These ashes will be buried directly in the urn.
Conclusion. In short, birth, illness, death and illness are not terrible, but a process that everyone has to go through. Nowadays, the funeral culture is more and more developed, and the cremation technology has also changed a lot. Many crematoriums can be cremated successfully, and there is no need to go through the process of "cutting the belly of the body", so you don't have to worry too much.
As for the explosion in the above article, it is only a rare special case. Under normal circumstances, such accidents will not happen, so we don't have to be so afraid of cremation.
Crematorium. As a factory, it is natural to put efficiency first ... In India, it takes a whole day (white) for open-air firewood cremation. Twenty years ago, my family had to wait in front of the stove for more than an hour or two, and the air was smelly. In recent years, the coffin has not been used for an hour, and the air tastes a lot lighter. The operation behind the furnace is unknown to most people.
