Cremation gardens are now an essential interment facility in North American cemeteries. The relatively small site requirements and physical flexibility of cremation allows great variety in design and marketing. The economic value of a well-designed garden can be many times greater than a traditional burial section, while the service and maintenance costs are lower.
A crematorium is a facility that houses a cremator having a cremation chamber or retort. In this chamber, the body of a deceased incinerated and hence, reduced to skeletal remains and bone fragments. Cremation chambers are usually lined with heat-resistant refractory bricks. These bricks should be replaced every five years.
