The word "cremation" has become commonplace in modern society, which is not a pleasant thing, but it is not a sad thing, and modern people choose cremation on the one hand because of the increased environmental awareness, cremation is more environmentally friendly than burial, and on the other hand, to alleviate the situation of land resources.
However, there are also many rumors circulating in the cremation matter, the most unreliable of which is that cremation will "boil oil", people are worried that cremation will refine the "oil" of the corpse and then make it into lipstick and serve it on the table, so is there any possibility that this thing exists?
1. Corpse oil.
The term corpse oil is not a rumor established in modern society, but spread in ancient times, unlike people in modern society who are afraid of others dying in their own hands, ancient people are particularly fond of doing such things, and even extract some valuable things from corpses.
So in some ancient horror novels, there will be scenes of extracting oil from corpses, and even being able to smear corpse oil on the body as a preservative, which is extremely terrifying.
Therefore, the corpse oil in horror novels is undoubtedly a kind of human fear of life and death, but in reality, this corpse oil does not exist.
As we all know, corpses decompose, produce a foul smell, and some fat is secreted, so some people will find something called "corpse fat" on corpses, but this corpse fat is not the grease described in horror novels.
This grease is due to the fluid secreted by corpses when they decompose, so some people call this grease "corpse oil", but this corpse oil is not the kind of corpse oil described in horror novels.
"Corpse oil" in ancient times is actually the fat refined from the corpse, mixed with some spices on this fat, and even mixed with some other materials, and then made into a paste-like thing, which is smeared on the corpse, which helps to embalm and can also dilute the foul smell emitted by the corpse, but the effect of this method is not very obvious, but this method is widely used by ancient people.
In order to extract more fat, people in ancient times would roll on the corpse, and some people would even soak the corpse in some liquid that dissolves fat, which is undoubtedly disrespectful to the corpse, so even if the fat is found on the corpse, it is attracted by this corpse fat, not real corpse oil.
However, in the modern cremation process, there is no way to extract the corpse oil, because the corpse is burned off during the cremation process.
Second, the grease is burned off.
Cremation is to put the body into the crematorium, incinerate the body at high temperature, so that the body is finally burned into ashes, and the ashes are then loaded into the urn, and then the urn is buried in the soil, which not only prevents the body from decomposing and produces a foul odor, but also saves land resources.
However, this method of cremation is not a complete incineration of the corpse, because the water content in the corpse is relatively large, so this method will cause some water and grease to splash out, so it is easy to cause a fire when the cremation is carried out.
Therefore, in the process of cremating the corpse, the grease on the corpse will also be burned, so even if there is grease in the corpse, it will be burned at the time of cremation, so no corpse oil will be refined during the cremation process.
Of course, in the process of cremation, in order to be able to burn more fully, some fuel is often sprayed into the crematorium, which is generally some flammable liquid, so during cremation, it will also increase the speed of burning of the body.
However, not all crematoriums will be like this, and many crematoriums will also treat the smoke and dust in order to prevent the gas produced during the combustion process from polluting the environment and preventing toxic substances from being discharged into the atmosphere and causing environmental pollution.
Therefore, crematoriums are not full of smoke and bad smells as described in horror novels, but many crematoriums will treat the smoke and dust to protect the environment.
But many years ago, the crematoriums were dirty, messy, and poor, so this became a source of many rumors, and the funeral industry was rejected as an unclean job, so it became a form of discrimination.
However, the funeral industry is a very important kind of work, so many crematoriums have improved the environment after development, and at the same time, in the cremation process, the smoke and dust will also be treated to protect the environment, so this awareness of environmental protection is also very positive.
3. Corpse oil is served on the table.
In modern society, some people worry that cremating a corpse will extract the oil from the corpse, and then process this oil into lipstick, and some people even think that adding corpse oil to food is good for the body.
This is a ridiculous idea, because the oil in the human body is burned off when it is cremated, and no corpse oil is formed, so no one in the crematorium extracts the oil for processing.
The argument of corpse oil is even more nonsense, so people don't have to worry too much about cremation, but they also have their own ideas, and they can't deny everything because of a rumor spread on the Internet, and think rationally.
After the corpse oil is made, some people will use it in cosmetics, and some people worry that their lipstick will be made from corpse oil, but this statement is also not true, so people don't have to worry too much about this matter.
epilogue
The term "corpse oil" does not exist in reality, but this element of horror has a strong imagination in literary works, and at the same time can express the author's strong emotions.
The crematorium has special treatment for smoke and dust emissions, and this awareness of environmental protection is also very positive, and the oil in the human body will also be burned off in the process of cremation, so there will be no corpse oil, so there is no need to panic about it.
The knowledge of the disposal and cremation of corpses has also dispelled many myths, as well as how humans dispose of corpses and the importance of environmental protection.
