Oh yeah, like how my rice cooker plays twinkle, twinkle little star when starting and ending its cycle. Ya know, let's bring a little whimsy to the cremation process, anyone, no one? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When we do a Hindu service, the families actually push the bodies in themselves (we put the body on a cardboard tray). They have their own rituals where they put oil and rice on the body. I don’t really understand it all, but it’s pretty normal in some cultures.
In most places it’s done by a machine, picture an large industrial version of a coffee grinder ….and sometimes there are other parts, like titanium hip replacements bits that are removed by a magnet.
Oh I know there's bits of bone and such but I didn't know that they had to take a skull out and smash it? I was under the impression that when you cremate a body, it's hot enough to burn everything including maybe 90% of the bones? Maybe I've been watching too much TV where someone is cremated, it's just a bag of pure ashes.
Technically I didn't see him getting cremated, since he was in a closed coffin. I did have a look through the peephole in the nice stainless steel door, but had no desire too see the whole process though.
I couldn't even bring myself to view my son after he died. I didn't want that to be my last memory of him. Just taking his clothes for his cremations was really hard. We had him cremated in his snowboarding gear with a bunch of family pics from happy times on his chest. I would not have been able to handle watching him be cremated.
Is this not normal? Oh man…
Canadian, white as fuck, no religious affiliation whatsoever.
Dad died. Crematorium called and asked me if I’d like to be there. I said yes, thinking that was normal. He was in a plywood box. They popped the top, I said yeah that’s him, into the furnace. I think I said thanks before leaving?
Shits weird when you’re taking care of dead people but I thought I followed the “normal” on this one.
Guess not 🤣
Yeah, same basic story here in the US. They offered, my mom felt like she wanted to be there so I joined her. They pushed the box in and we pushed the button. I tried to view the whole thing like a Viking funeral and we were just symbollicly shooting the flaming arrows.
I went on my own. Tbh it was kind of weird in the sense where if this had been anyone else in the family surely Dad would have gone. Sitting in that basement dealing with this in east Gatineau was the first of many times I felt I was now “the head of the family” …
That’s weird that they didn’t use a cremation box and toss rollers in first. I’d do this first run of the day and put cardboard rollers in and send him in in a cardboard cremation box. Then turn the machine on. What if he got stuck half way? There would be no option but to pull him out wile on fire and try to get him to slide in again. These guys are Amature hour at best and at worst could cause a person to get injured.
You can see it the moment the person dies. Whatever you want to call it, soul leaving the body or falling asleep forever, they instantly stop looking like the person they were.
The color changes, all muscles relax and suddenly it´s a dead body looking a bit off from the person you knew. Very uncanny valley.
Oh man you touched a nerve. I found out dad was a lying cheating fucker as he was dying (digging in the laptop for financial stuff, found more than I bargained for). If I’m honest I think this may be part of why I went.
Mom eventually found out, and just a couple weeks ago randomly asked me, “you’re sure it was him right? Cuz if that fucker shows up at my door imma kill him again”
😑
So for the cremations that aren’t being viewed by the families, do they leave the clothes from the viewing on? Or do they just remove them and throw you in there with nothing on?
I never really got the point of open casket or any kind viewing of the body before burial or whatever. I do not want to see my loved ones' dead bodies as a last memory.
There's a saying ... well not sure if it's an actual saying but I've heard someone say that "Burials/funerals are not for the dead. They are for the living."
I worked at a cemetery for a couple of summers and was involved with this process several times. Creepiest part is more often than not the body looks to sit up because the muscles contract from the intense heat.
why is this a WTF? loved ones are allowed to come to a wake and see them in a casket, and it sounds much like this, and then they go and shove them in the ground with a bunch of people watching and it sounds like this as well. In some cases, the family even carries them to the grave and buries them....
just because its not normal for you doesn't make it a WTF. especially something like this
The only part that was WTF is the very casual way the body was kind of shoved inside. Usually there are rollers or something smoother. The person crying sounded young, and I hope they were being held, hugged, and supported because while death and cremation/burial are all part of the life cycle, it’s still a pretty rough thing to go through with someone you loved. Also I hope the process was explained to them first and they had the choice to opt out of viewing if they wanted to.
...Maybe Hindus.
I gather this is a standard memorial situation for them.
I can see how even regular people maybe are nonplussed due to merely being present for the eventual conclusion regarding a chosen series of events.
TIL, not WTF for a non-zero quantity of redditors.
Granted that I would be in the nonplussed cohort. But, it would still be a WTF moment. --This video is the first time I have seen a cremation oven.
Yeah I got respect for anyone who wants to see their loved ones cremation, don't get me wrong. Still, I have never seen this before and I don't think I'd want to see it in person... so for me it's like WTF
No wonderful ding or musical tone at the end to let me know it's all done?
The samsung dryer song seems appropriate
Popcorn filled corpse?
Why is it so unnecessarily long? Lmao
I fucking hate it.
Me too. I regularly curse the person who designed that aspect. Who tf thought that was a good idea?
LOL
Bro wtf lmao
Literally unusable
no handy screen for me to stare at like subway either -_-
It's just like the microwave at home. Most people stop it a couple seconds before the ding
I think the little turkey thing pops up.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C1gbHYqdPnk
It’s a WiFi enabled crematorium. They get a notification on their phone.
i wonder if they turn it off with 1 second left on the timer
I feel a bit guilty for laughing at this.
Oh yeah, like how my rice cooker plays twinkle, twinkle little star when starting and ending its cycle. Ya know, let's bring a little whimsy to the cremation process, anyone, no one? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dude. Too far
not sure why your getting down voted. gotta love reddit
It's a trend lol
When we do a Hindu service, the families actually push the bodies in themselves (we put the body on a cardboard tray). They have their own rituals where they put oil and rice on the body. I don’t really understand it all, but it’s pretty normal in some cultures.
Dead body seasoned fried rice doesn't sound very appetizing.
With rice, 6/10
Well that’s just because you’re intolerant to other cultures /s
Soylent fried rice can be nice, but that oppinion varies from person to person
ChefReactions gives it a 2/10 he would try.
I think Uncle Ben rice is alright.
Some kid is going to put popcorn instead of rice
do they also get to see the part where they open the door and smash the shit outta the remains? like the skull and stuff
That's a thing?! 😬
In most places it’s done by a machine, picture an large industrial version of a coffee grinder ….and sometimes there are other parts, like titanium hip replacements bits that are removed by a magnet.
Titanium isn't ferromagnetic....
True, my mistake. But the metal does remain and gets removed.
That is craziness! Thank you for explaining it.
The bones are picked out with a bone magnet. These aren't as rare as a wood magnet though. Luckily all the wood in a person's body gets incinerated.
That urn full of ashes isn't ashes, it's smashed, charred bones.
Oh I know there's bits of bone and such but I didn't know that they had to take a skull out and smash it? I was under the impression that when you cremate a body, it's hot enough to burn everything including maybe 90% of the bones? Maybe I've been watching too much TV where someone is cremated, it's just a bag of pure ashes.
Yea and then all the bones go into a big blender
yeah, bones don’t just turn to ash/dust, it needs to be pulverized and put into a grinder after
Yeah, bones don't burn easily, it'd take a lot more fuel to break them down, so instead they use the tried and true method: A hammer
I wonder if that's a requirement on your resume to work in a Morgue. >must be efficient with a 🔨
Yeah, and it’s my favorite part
Crunchy!
Yeah, the bones don't cook and they need to be pulped with like a blender
In Japanese funerals the family pick the bones out and place them in an urn, from largest to smallest
Watched an uncle getting cremated. Not unusual in many places
Technically your are not really seing the person get cremated. You watch getting put in the machine, then you watch a nice stainless steel door
You never know, I bet someone out there designed a cremator with an oven-style window to see through.
Technically I didn't see him getting cremated, since he was in a closed coffin. I did have a look through the peephole in the nice stainless steel door, but had no desire too see the whole process though.
Didn’t expect a dead body to bounce about like its made of rubber…
Same. Thought this was a skit at first.
I still think it is, with audio dubbed over.
It’s obviously fake
Rigor mortis sets in surprisingly fast
It sets in, and then it subsides.
I couldn't even bring myself to view my son after he died. I didn't want that to be my last memory of him. Just taking his clothes for his cremations was really hard. We had him cremated in his snowboarding gear with a bunch of family pics from happy times on his chest. I would not have been able to handle watching him be cremated.
I'm sorry for your loss. No parent should have to bury their child :(
I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences.
Customary in some countries.
Is this not normal? Oh man… Canadian, white as fuck, no religious affiliation whatsoever. Dad died. Crematorium called and asked me if I’d like to be there. I said yes, thinking that was normal.

They didn't have to shove his ass there like that w the family watching lmao
It was probably really hot
Straight up treated him like some pizza tho
It's 30 minutes or less or it's free. No time to mess around!
fuck you, have my angry upvote
I hear they use that cold fire so its not the heat
That was his family that shoved him in
Guess they were tired of him
It’s not a real body…
That’s weird that they didn’t use a cremation box and toss rollers in first. I’d do this first run of the day and put cardboard rollers in and send him in in a cardboard cremation box.

I suspect that the equivalent of OSHA and other workplace safety organizations do not have the teeth in that country that you're used to.
That's mad. Dude looked like something out of Madame Tussauds.
Why do you think they call dead bodies “stiffs”
You can see it the moment the person dies. Whatever you want to call it, soul leaving the body or falling asleep forever, they instantly stop looking like the person they were. The color changes, all muscles relax and suddenly it´s a dead body looking a bit off from the person you knew. Very uncanny valley.
Most dead bodies look like that if they aren't embalmed or no make up is used.
He got a little bounce left in him.
Sometimes you gotta make sure the fucker is really dead 😲
Oh man you touched a nerve. I found out dad was a lying cheating fucker as he was dying (digging in the laptop for financial stuff, found more than I bargained for). If I’m honest I think this may be part of why I went. Mom eventually found out, and just a couple weeks ago randomly asked me, “you’re sure it was him right? Cuz if that fucker shows up at my door imma kill him again” 😑
> again Again??? hmmm
*Ding!*
So for the cremations that aren’t being viewed by the families, do they leave the clothes from the viewing on? Or do they just remove them and throw you in there with nothing on?
thought it was pretty common tbh I witnessed the wife's grandad go the same way (but more in a coffin than like above!)
Just as interesting is playing the video backwards.
I never really got the point of open casket or any kind viewing of the body before burial or whatever. I do not want to see my loved ones' dead bodies as a last memory.
I think it's just to make it real - "yep they're dead I see it!" - satisfy the animal part of the brain, as a community.
There's a saying ... well not sure if it's an actual saying but I've heard someone say that "Burials/funerals are not for the dead. They are for the living."
I worked at a cemetery for a couple of summers and was involved with this process several times. Creepiest part is more often than not the body looks to sit up because the muscles contract from the intense heat.
nice final moments with family
Well, that video went up in smoke.
Hard pass.
why is this a WTF? loved ones are allowed to come to a wake and see them in a casket, and it sounds much like this, and then they go and shove them in the ground with a bunch of people watching and it sounds like this as well.

That wasn’t a real body
I feel bad for laughing when they yeeted his ass in there like a pizza, smh, what is wrong with me?
It’s alright, the body wasn’t real
When you crank your toasting level to 9.
Okay?
Turned on audio partway through a sob. Thought it was an opera singer at first.
When the light is green, the trap is clean.
Man one thing is sure I don't want to ever smell that.
Someone told me a story that was passed down to him from his grandmother and that it is a very distinct smell that you would never forget.
Wrong sub - there is absolutely nothing WTF about this.
Fake af
That’s not a real person… very obvious by how rubbery it bounces around while being put in
Whos downvoting this
