The saddest cremation

There may be no recoverable remains from the cremation of an infant. This is because:

1. Cremated remains are mainly calicified bone material and in a infant most of the bones have not fully developed.
2. Also an infant's small size means that the force of either the burner or the airjets blows all remains away. Some crematoria put the infant casket into a stainless steel large pan to try to contain as much ash as possible. This procedure usually about yields 2 tablespoons of ash.
