Cremation Services: The Neptune Society specializes in cremation services, which involve the process of reducing the body to ashes through intense heat. Cremation has become an increasingly popular choice for end-of-life arrangements due to its environmental friendliness and lower cost compared to traditional burials.

The suit, filed in Alameda County Superior Court, accuses the Neptune Society, which oversees 27 licensed funeral establishments and crematoriums throughout California, and SCI, one of the nation's largest funeral and crematorium services, of defrauding customers who sign “pre-need” agreements.

The Neptune Society and Trident Society are owned by Houston-based behemoth Service Corporation International (SCI). As of this writing, SCI had not commented, and a representative of Neptune had issued only a “no comment” statement in response to the suit.

The first step is to verify the identity of the deceased person and to get the proper authorization to cremate the body. Second, the body is prepared by the crematorium staff and placed in a fully-combustible container. Third, the body is moved to the cremation chamber. Fourth, the remains are removed.

When the cremation process has finished, small amounts of bone will remain, these are taken from the cremator, cooled and placed in a machine which reduces the bone to ashes. These are the ashes which are put into a container. After the cremation, the family may choose to receive the ashes of their loved one.

A water cremation takes around four hours. Unlike flame cremation, the body is taken out of the coffin before the process begins. After hydrolysis, as with flame cremation, the remaining bones are put into a cremulator - a kind of specialised machine which turns them into a fine, sand-like powder, similar to ash.

bones After the cremation procedure is complete, what remains are typically gray fragments including ashes from the cremation container used and bone particles. The bones themselves will not burn during the process; in fact, if left undisturbed, there will be an entire skeleton left behind after a cremation.

If the death happens at night, the rituals are performed after sunrise. The dead person will undergo numerous suffering if the cremation is performed at night. It is also believed that in the next birth (whatever be the form), the person will not have all the limbs.
