Interesting…..so German cremation entails having to buy a wood coffin only to be cremated in it? Doesn’t make sense…
The American cremation I have recent first hand knowledge of worked the same way.
That’s interesting because I have NEVER heard of such a thing as standard practice. I was researching the potential for a cremation business opportunity a few years ago and none of them did that as standard practice. It really is unnecessary and an additional cost. None of my cremated family members (6+) were put in a coffin for cremation.
It would seem like a wasteful, costly, unnecessary burden. Typically the corpse is placed on a “table grate” and slid into the crematorium.
