Ram one for years. Once done, you go in with a long “brush” to scrape and brake up material into the receptacle near the door. Sort of like a big ash tray. You then take contents over to a device like a grocery store Coffee grinder, empty in top and fill the final bag before sealing it and tossing into the box for the funeral home.

Work in IT. Client is a mortuary.

Went to their crematorium because their pc was on the fritz.

Dude who wrote the software died, so no support. Machine is running windows XP many many many years past end of life. Got to move this software off buddy. Install software on a server, needs a license key. Call number on back of the CD. Dead dev's wife answers.......

Me: "Sorry to bother and bring up sad memories, but....can we get an install key?"

Widow: "Oh yes this happens all the time. *gives install key"

Install software and move database to new server, works. *phew

Crazy Mortuary Dude: Hey check this out...*Pulls up record on software...name matches dead software guy....he was cremated here. Not only is he the creator, he is also a customer.

*gives me a tour of the freezer full of cardbord boxes....all dead people

Crazy Mortuary Dude: Hey we got a body in one of the ovens wana see?

*Pulls a chain an a giant steel door opens a few inches....yup thats a ribcage.....

Continues tour. Giant trashcan full of titanium parts. Hips, knee joints, plates, pins, screws....

Shows a room with 3-4 giant industrial blenders. Yeah your bones don't burn down to a fine powder...you get blended afterwards....

Crazy shit...would tour again.
