It usually takes about two to two and a half hours for a body to be cremated. It also depends on factors like the weight of the body and the operating temperature in the cremation chamber.
After the body has been reduced to the cremated body, the remains are collected in a tray and allowed to cool for a while. Finally, they are reduced to a finer consistency by the pulverization process. This process, however, does not take too long.
