Common sense prevails.
Pity really, they could have gone a traditional step further back and thrown the surviving spouse onto it as well.
Sahagamana from the Chapter "Grhasthasrama", in Hindu Dharma : kamakoti.org:

No I don't really mean such a cruel thing should happen again, I'm trying to point out that it was one traditional part of a funeral pyre that changed, which means that the other part could surely be changed to using a crematorium without the 'soul' of the dead person being compromised.
