Smells Pretty Good?
When I was about 17 I got on a YTS placement with the council and my job was mow the grass around graves and the memorial gardens

The job was boring
(some might call it Dead Boring but I wont cos that's silly)
anyway as people do in boring jobs I took every chance to skive off and part of this enabled me to strike up a friendship with the guys that worked the crematorium

one day I was invited into the back room
to have a look at how it worked and
to my joy ( I was 17 and a boy )
they were just about to stick an ex somebody in
It was pretty much automated all the fellah had to choose was oven 1 or oven 2 and in the coffin went
little flames popped up on the lid even before the door closed which was pretty cool
the oven next door had somebody in about half done and you could look through a little window to see how they were coming on
so I had a look and got to see that the coffin had completely gone leaving the almost perfect skeleton on display all be it charred and as you would expect
the head was closest to the window and you could see that the ribs were burning down at different speeds just like what matches look like
bone/black burnt bone/ash
obvious when you think about it but I hadn't and it surprised me
didn't freak me out just surprised me
I have decided that will be the way I go
It seems strangely peaceful and very final
unlike the slow decay in the ground

anyway the heat was great for drying out damp clothes when it rained

but the smell of people being cooked .. well I'm sorry to say made me hungry

that might sound odd but it didn't smell like burnt
it smelt like roast dinner
and I wasn't the only one to think this

* Moral *
working in graveyards makes you learn stuff about yourself its best not knowing.
