As a result, actual cremation times vary from 60 minutes to more than 5 hours. In the cremation profession, it is widely stated that it takes about 2 hours to cremate an average body of 150 pounds in a cardboard cremation container.: On the surface, this is a simple question, but answering it requires an understanding of the factors that influence cremation time. First, let's assume that by cremation time, we mean the time it takes to physically reduce the body and casket or container.
But the exact decomposing time differs. Generally, it could take about a year for the body to decompose into a skeleton in ordinary soil and eight to twelve years to decompose a skeleton. And if a dead body is inside a coffin and buried deep underground, it could even take 50 years to decompose all tissues on the body. Normally, substantial decomposition mostly occurs in the course of two weeks, and the bodyâs soft tissues start disintegrating even with preservation.
