Yup. You get more or less depending on the person being cremated too. Super fascinating process honestly, a lot of care goes into it. Unless you get cremated with your phone then it explodes in the chamber and is left with you for all eternity.

What’s also fascinating is aquamation - the process of using water and alkali with heat to decompose the soft tissues - most of it is fully captured so it’s a net zero environmental impact.
