Basically the title. I work in a crematorium (also known as a cremation center). You can ask me anything you want, I will respond with true honesty. (Also I’m epileptic and ADHD, if you want to ask anything about that LOL…)
Worth noting that I officiate in religious ceremonies, even though I’m an atheist, so, if you have any questions regarding that too.

Wow. How did you get involved in this career? What is the best and worst part of your job?
maybe weird question but would u like to be cremated in the future? or would you prefer some other method
Are personal items allowed in the retort? If so, what’s the strangest thing you’ve seen someone go in with?
Would you say you have to have quite thick skin?
What do you do with all the silicon, implanted metal and whatnot that’s there when the remains are incinerated? Do you give them to the NOK?
What happens to all the gold teeth and fillings? What about any jewelry?
You feel like it’s a dead end job?
I’ve always wondered how much of it is the person and how much is the coffin/box? Are we all just keep a burnt coffin in fancy urns?
