We presume to believe that this would be UN-poped kernels, rather than the Cracker Jack variety

Better check all the old Clinton dead for Hillary’s cell phones and lap tops.

If you are going to cremate items like that, you may want to avoid enclosed spaces

Probably sensible at the time, but...cremation sorta negates the possibility of dialing. Not to mention the lack of cellphone service in the afterlife.What the hell plan would cover that?!

Do any of you know what happens to the human head during a cremation? Think coconut.

2. The human skull is full of holes
Besides your peeper holes, your smellin hole, and your pie hole, the skull is full of tiny holes called foramina. These openings allow for the passage of the nerves and blood vessels that innervate the face. The largest hole in the skull is where the vertebral column joins the base of the skull, and is called the foramen magnum.
Lots of holes mean no pressure build up, i.e., no "coconut explosion".

That is not what a crematory technician told me. I won't describe exactly what he said but let me assure you that when the temperature is high enough anything that looks like a human head will bust open quickly.
Besides, the holes you mention have a number of tissues between the inside of the skull and the outside of the head that impede a direct connection to the outside world.
If there were no such tissues our brains would get easily infected.
