What do cremated ashes feel like?

The material is not soft and fluffy like wood ashes. It's a grainier substance that is more like coarse sand. That's because it's crushed bones, along with small amounts of salts and other minerals.

What do cremation ashes look like?

When families come into pick up the cremation ashes (formally called cremation remains), they ask what the ashes look like. This is a perfectly acceptable and understandable question, especially for those who plan on doing a scattering ceremony. To the untrained eye, the gray powder you see in the photo looks like fireplace ashes. First of all, “ashes” is a misleading way to describe cremation remains. The material is not soft and fluffy like wood ashes. It’s a grainier substance that is more like coarse sand. That’s because it’s crushed bones, along with small amounts of salts and other minerals. They range in color from a pasty white to a deep gray.

What happens to the rest of the body?

As you may remember from school science classes, our bodies are mostly water. Inside the retort (cremation chamber), temperatures are between 1400 and 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, so all the water is vaporized, along with tissues, organs, cartilage, etc. Those gases are safely taken away through the furnace exhaust system.

And the bones?

When the cremation process is complete, the bone fragments are allowed to cool, then carefully removed and crushed to a more consistent size of particles. The cremation ashes of an adult will usually weigh between four and six pounds. Since nearly everything other than the bones is vaporized, the height of the deceased (length of the skeleton) is more of a factor in the amount of remains than the person’s weight. There are no stupid questions when it comes to the cremation process.

How to attract an older man?

Avoid pointing out the age gap. He probably has different hobbies, and different tastes, than you do. Try to connect with him on these things. Listen to music he likes, but also try to expose him to things you like. Don't force him to behave like a younger man, but try to involve him in your hobbies and interests.
