Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable. Death is the end of all life. No one can escape this cruel natural law. For a long time in the past, most people were buried in the earth after their deaths. The body was buried in the ground and slowly decayed over time. With the breakthrough of human productivity, the population began to explode in the 20th century, in order to save land resources. After death, the remains are generally cremated, or ashes are buried in the ground. There are also rumors that the funeral home will only let family members take away a little ashes, and they will use the rest as fertilizer. Recently, some experts called for the restoration of the original burial in order to respect the remains of the deceased. Today, Lao Wang will take you to see what the real ashes look like and how long they can be kept.
Many people think that the remains will turn into powder after cremation. This idea is completely wrong. The original form of ashes is not the powder that everyone sees, but the ashes together are human bones. It is formed after being incinerated. From X-ray powder crystal diffraction, it can be seen that the composition of bone ashes is similar to apatite . The elemental composition is mainly calcium, phosphorus, oxygen and carbon. The human body is composed of many elements. The oxygen content is as high as 65%, followed by 18% carbon and 10% hydrogen, and the remaining 3% is some trace elements. Our body contains organic matter such as water, fat, and protein.
When the remains are fully burned, these organic matter will become water vapor and carbon dioxide dispersed in the air, and what remains is the inorganic compounds of calcium, phosphorus, and carbon. It is the ashes we are talking about, but it is not as delicate as in the TV series. The real ashes are rougher, just like gray sand. Because the melting point of ashes is as high as 1,400 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature of the cremation furnace is less than 1,000 degrees Celsius.
so the ashes can be preserved. After death, the cremation in the crematorium can be burned in just one hour. After cremation, the remains will be taken out by the staff to cool, and then placed in the intensive care unit. After ash inspection and vacuum cremation,The ashes still have relatively large bones that need to be processed again. The staff will then use a stainless steel plate to hold the bones and let the relatives of the deceased break the bones and put them in. The ashes bags are finally put into the urn, because the urn is relatively small, so if the bones are not broken, they cannot be put in the box. When the ashes are processed, most of them are lumpy. There is only a small amount of powder, which is also the burning material of clothes and fruit bags. Those bones that cannot be burned are the joints and bones in the body of the deceased.
Some people may also ask, will the ashes disappear after many years? Because the ashes are composed of inorganic substances with stable properties, they can be stored for a long time in a closed condition, but the ashes have the highest phosphorus content and can be used as nutrients for microorganisms. But if the ashes are not preserved well, they will be absorbed by microorganisms until they disappear in some humid environment. The urn slowly dissolves over time, so when people bury their ashes in the ground or spill them into rivers, they will gradually decay over time, and the ashes will be transformed into nutrients by microorganisms in the soil or seawater and return. In nature. Therefore, if it is not stored properly, the ashes will disappear in about three months. Once, a company in the United States discovered a business opportunity. They put the ashes of the deceased in their homemade capsules, and then turned it into a certain fertile soil. The plant seeds were cultivated in the ashes capsules, which was both environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. Let the relatives of the deceased see things and think about people. It is precisely because the ashes can be used as nourishment, so it is rumored that the funeral home only allows the family of the deceased to take part of the ashes. The remaining ashes are sold to fertilizer plants for them. Such remarks are not only ridiculous, but also lack common sense. The main responsibility of the funeral home is to organize the appearance of the deceased so that they can leave the world in a dignified manner.
Therefore, the hotel will not privately treat the ashes of the deceased without the consent of the family members. Some family members of the deceased feel that there are few ashes, to a large extent because they cannot accept that their loved ones become light ashes. Due to different family concepts, they also have different ways of dealing with ashes. However, most people will still choose to bury them, but some people will put them directly in a place dedicated to storing ashes. Allow relatives and friends to visit at any time, and very few of them will follow the wishes of the deceased and sprinkle the ashes into the sea. In recent years, based on the increasing acceptance of people,Merchants are studying various ways of preserving ashes. In order to cater to the preferences of more people, it can also be made into crystal necklace , pendants and other commemorative items. The most representative is to make the ashes into artificial diamonds. However, some people feel that this method does not respect the deceased. What do you think about this?
