What is the purpose of a "cremation container"?

The purpose of a cremation container is to serve as the receptacle in which human remains are placed prior to the cremation process. This container is essential for the safe and respectful handling of the deceased, ensuring that the body is properly contained during cremation. It is designed to meet specific regulations that often require the container to be combustible and suitable for the cremation process.

Cremation containers can vary in material and design, but they must be able to withstand the high temperatures of the cremation chamber. By placing the remains in a designated container before cremation, it helps facilitate the process and ensures that all remains are appropriately processed and handled.

Other options like decorative containers for ashes or temporary holding spaces pertain to different stages of handling remains (post-cremation or before cremation) and are not relevant to the specific function of a cremation container.
