We are all going to die

That's the ticket. Nothing like cheery thoughts is what I say.

I wonder if fatter people need more energy to burn or do they supply more fuel for the fire….

A modern gas cremator "reduces" 70kg of human flesh per hour.

It's the water in the body that requires the most energy to get rid of.

Yes, the fats sustain a lot of the burning process by themselves.

The ashes at the bottom of the box were a bit grittier (presumably ground up bone from the cremulator) but hardly heavy.

What else is it really going to be?
I presume the contents will be a bit like a cereal box, only a little bit different.

That still doesn't fully explain how much is bone... Surely?

So, perhaps, maybe, just a thought; what if the body was dropped into a rather large body processor - sort of like a food processor but much larger - and skip the burning part - which does admittedly use up a lot of energy - a simply puree the body? Then the liquid gooey remains could be poured down the lavatory, or slurped into the river or sea, or just do what lots of people do these days in Britain with noxious fluids, pour it all over the nearby National park.

You could, but I wager more people would notice...

It's been done using woodchippers, none specialist tool with strong enough blades to handle bones in America. The remains being dumped into a watercourse.
Even they required the body be cut into smaller parts before being fed into them.

Surely the best way to scatter ashes in sensitive locations is Great Escape style...

Ufft, you are such a spoil - sport, but also, you never stated that.

One, two, three, four
Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize
We're floating in space?
Do you realize
That happiness makes you cry?
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do you realize?
Ah-ah-ah
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?

@classic33, I am sure doing it in Piraña infested areas in south America would be interesting too!

I did mention into dumped into a watercourse(river).
