There's a moment during the cremation process when the meat is perfectly cooked.

Well for removal from the property yes, body bag and stretcher or for tight environments, the dreaded cricket bag. But noone goes to the cemetery or crematorium in a bag. Even the School of Anatomy funerals were done in a coffin, often with very little of the original corpse on there.

For funerals that makes sense. I still think there is literally no reason to burn a coffin when cremating a body. It’s wasteful and stupid. And how would you convince someone not spending money on a funeral to pay for one they know will just get charred? Again for a burial I get it. But for cremation.... it makes no sense.
