Respect for the dead, burial and Mourn for dead people. When a loved one dies, grieving family members and friends often are confronted with dozens of decisions about the funeral - all of which must be made quickly and often under great emotional duress.

Color of ashes
When they rake you out of the furnace your cremains may be a grey and white mixture or dark grey (charcoal), with unburnt trabecular bone (bone with an internal latticework) showing up yellow.
If zinc had been used in the construction of your coffin, some of your cremains might appear slightly yellowed; if iron, green; if copper, pink. Metals in the jewelry you were wearing as you burnt up would also affect the color of your ashes.
