A lot of people think that the cremation actually takes place when the coffin goes through the curtain but it doesn't and never has. It is usually done sometime later although in most cases not very much later.

At crematoriums (crematoria?) where there are 3 or 4 funerals that day I can't see the problem with not lighting the furnace until after the last funeral has taken place. They are not actually suggesting putting all the coffins in together. Just having one time of the day when the furnace is lit and then each one will have its own cremation in succession.

I can't see anything wrong with the idea myself and it doesn't sound a whole lot different to what happens already apart from it saving on the fuel for getting the furnaces heated up.

I don't like the idea of holding any and carrying them forward to the next day though. I still think they should take place on the same day as the actual ceremony.

If they were going to suggest cremating people en masse then I would agree that is totally unacceptable and I would be horrified at the idea.
