Method and Apparatus For Applying Accelerant in Cremation Process

A cremation method, comprising:

• a) providing an accelerant module having a combustible carrier, flame accelerant material disposed in solid form within the combustible carrier, the flame accelerant material having a melting temperature, and a combustion temperature that is higher than the melting temperature, wherein the combustible carrier is configured to maintain sufficient structural integrity at the melting temperature to retard the flow of the flame accelerant materials in a molten state, and to degrade or burn sufficiently at the combustion temperature to allow the flame accelerant material to combust;
• b) advancing a combustible casket having a deceased body and supporting the accelerant module into a cremation position of a cremation retort where the cremation position has an internal temperature of less than 700 degrees Fahrenheit;
• and
• c) increasing the temperature at the cremation position to over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit to combust the combustible casket, the deceased body, and the accelerant module.
