**What Really Happens During Cremation? Former Funeral Worker Explains**

Cremation is becoming more popular despite cultural taboos and lingering myths. Lauren, a former funeral home employee on TikTok (@lovee.miss.lauren), shared details of the process to help dispel fear and confusion.

One common question: *How do I know the ashes belong to my loved one?*
Lauren explains that each body is tagged with a metal ID plate that stays with it throughout the cremation. The ashes are bagged, labeled, and accompanied by a certificate.

She also addresses unusual but real questions, like whether tampons are removed before cremation. Yes — especially if embalming is performed, and always under strict protocols.

Louise Singer from the UK adds that items like pacemakers must be removed beforehand, as they can explode under the extreme heat (800–1,000°C). Cremation takes about 90 minutes, and progress is monitored through a small viewing port.
