Well as i said when i worked at Burnley crem about 15 years ago the cremators were single units and could only take one at a time, as for whats left its not a lot because at 1200 degrees bones burn to more or less nothing.This is a bit gruesome but the hardest bit to get rid of was the brain. When complete the remains are scanned with a magnet to remove any metal objects hip joints, watches, keys etc, then placed into a ball mill to reduce the remains to a coarse dust and then placed into a individual jar.
