Your chance to discuss the really hot topics of death and cremation.
Go to
Cremate-me Forum
Do you want to be cremated? Why or why not? How will you dress for your final journey? Are there any "lighter" cremation moments or jokes you would like to share? Or perhaps you are a cremation professional who would like to provide us with info. Loads and loads of thanks to Vicky for setting this forum up. Hope to be hearing a lot more from Vicky in the future. |

Its just like taking a hot bath OK a very very hot bath.
And with strong alkali not bubble bath. Oh and it won't do much
for you skin - except dissolve it.
Resomation is the latest alternative to cremation. And yes we at this page like the idea! Go to our Resomation page to a perverse and maybe downright perverted view of the idea. But when all is said and done it looks like a greener way of destroying bodies and that can't be bad. |

Think that burial is a nice chance to sleep underground?
Think again. Our latest page Burial and Decay, considers the horrors of rotting slowly. It's enough to make you want to be burnt up. We hope this will be an education. But be warned - its all in the worst possible taste. |

The Earth is getting hotter. Will incinerating your girlfriend add to this
global heating?
Our latest page Cremation and Global Warming tackles this vital question, in our usual weird, perverse and indeed downright pervy style. This page is not suitable for those frightened by the thought of being turned into carbon dioxide, or for any girl called Sandra from London - because it might be you. |

Do you have nightmares about what will happen to your body in the crematorium incinerator? Then don't visit the new step by step guide to the disintegration of the body during cremation. Especially if you are named Jackie. You have been warned. |

View the new Ashes to Ashes page. The crematorium has reduced you to ashes. You are ready for scattering in the crematorium dispersal area, or for vacuuming up after your daughter carelessly tips over your urn. But.... What are "ashes"? How are they processed? How much "ash" is left after the cremation retort has done its work? Can they really be turned into diamonds? Is it true that some people haven't got ashes back at all, but have been given an urn of sand instead? Ashes to Ashes has the answers.

When the Grim Reaper visits you and you breath your last breath, what will happen to your body?
Cremation perhaps? This site is to give you honest accurate information
on cremation. Not a sentimental sales pitch. Here you can find out...

This site is to speak about the unspeakable, break taboos and inject a certain black humour
into thinking about our final reduction to 4 or 5 pounds of ash. The occasional
image of a good looking girl (OK or guy), vaguely in context will relieve the grim story of your
final total destruction. Some pages - especially those devoted to cremation humour or
cremation in the movies - contain mildly "adult" images. If this offends
find another page to view
Death is the final taboo in Western Society. The Cremation Process is the final taboo within the final taboo. This site hopes to lift the lid or maybe open the over door. What this site is not aiming to do is cause offence or upset. If you are likely to find the material here upsetting, please find another page to view |

Perhaps you believe you can avoid cremation, but just think about it:

I hope that you will choose cremation, but will choose knowing the facts. For this reason I've read everything I can find and talked to some professionals to try to make this site accurate. I always welcome corrections and new information especially from the experts. So come and see what I have discovered, but be warned, this journey is not for the faint hearted. |

This site was originally developed with Nicola as a Geocities offering. I looked after the page layout and images, she did the text and publicity. Nicola has now moved
onto darker things and I have taken over the whole site. I decided it was time for a proper web address, layout changes and some new content - so here we are. I hope
to keep the feel of the original.

I first heard about cremation from my friend Nigel when I was 10. He told me that his grandad had been "taken to a factory to be burned". I was fascinated. I
imagined big furnaces filled with blazing coal into which naked corpses were thrown. From then on I wanted to find out what happened at these factories. I went to my
first cremation at 14. I remember watching pale smoke puffing out of the crematorium chimney after the service.

At that point I knew I wanted to be cremated. I have found out a lot more about cremation since those early days - but it has only increased my conviction that I want to go up
in flames inside a cremation furnace. My view is that the more is know about cremation the better. On one hand, false rumours and horror stories will be stopped.
On the other, people will not opt for cremation without really knowing what is involved. I hope you find this site informative.
