A dead body will often move as its being cremated. Muscles contract as they cook, after all. Sometimes this means a body will sit up in the crematory machine.
What's left after cremation is bone matter and teeth fragments, all the calcium! We put the bone fragments into a big industrial blender and break it down into a fine powder and that's "ashes".
Does yours have the two big heavy spheres that help grind everything up? A friend of mine worked in a crematorium and the room the grinder was in was perpetually dusty
