I have been thinking, the typical cremation chamber only reaches 1600-1800 °F (870-980 °C) at least according to undependable wiki. At these temperatures, some alloys and most high temperature ceremics can endure quiet well without disintegrating.

What if you foribly put a living person inside a soon-to-be-coffin, securely close it and then shove the whole shebang into a cremation chamber? The temperature inside should reach temperatures that would kill a human being in a morbid slow analogue of a Sunday roast.

For some reason, I have been having this daydream of Anne Coulter being neutralized this way. When she was done, I had an image of Michael Moore (extra-large coffin) being subjected to the same. [My imagination is very bi-partsian today.]

Would you like fries with that?

I think you should make yourself a nice chamomile tea and curl up with your favorite book for a while.

People aren't cremated inside coffins. They're just loaded up into the oven on a tray like thing.

Another fun fact is that human bone doesn't burn, as well as quite a few other things, like metal fillings. And if you have any gold in your teeth, they sift that out when your remains emerge from the crematorium. The next step is to crush the bone that remains, and the resultant dust is what is called ash and stuck in an urn.
