These two chimneys belong to a well respected and more than thorough crematory that’s smack in the middle of a residential area. Both were running when I took ...this picture and I didn’t smell any fleshy scent in the air. Why? Because bodies are more or less incinerated as opposed to cooked. The cremation unit is heated to roughly 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. The gases that do escape that 1,200 degrees are released into another after-chamber that is heated to roughly 1700 degrees F. The (usual) result is that less than .1 grain per dry standard cubic foot is emitted into the atmosphere, which is why crematories smell nothing like a Burger King. #TheMoreYouKnow See more
