I learned this listening to true crime podcasts. Killers often try to burn bodies but it doesn’t work because you need an actual furnace to reduce a body down to ash.
It can be seen that way. Neil deGrasse Tyson agrees with you. OTOH, it’s a way to conserve cemetery space and reduce the environmental impact of graveyards.
