An employee of a Hamilton, Ohio funeral home and cremation service died yesterday, after being accidentally cremated by one of his coworkers.
(Excerpt) Read more at the-dailystar.com ...
In our small town, a local funeral home had a private party on the premises. Several were riding the service elevator to the basement for the party, when it suddenly broke loose falling 10 feet or so. Several were injured with broken bones, and other cuts and bruises. Quite the scandal in a small town, but, people move on and forget about it. LOL
Did NOT see that! Well I’m glad it is!
Would be extremely difficult to happen for many reasons.
I mean ... if you fall asleep on the job you should expect to get fired.

VERY GOOD!
Now that I think about it, I’m glad I snore.

WELL DONE, like that guy sleeping on the job!
Anyone on this thread who would like to read a fascinating and humorous autobiography about a young woman’s experience working her new job at a crematory should pick up a copy of Caitlin Doughty’s book entitled ‘Smoke Gets in Your Eyes’. Ms. Doughty subsequently became a licensed mortician. I signed out a copy on a Holland America cruise ship, and it is one of the best memories of that cruise. Great read!
You snooze, you lose.
The local response is: and snore you lose more!
Might have saved him in this instance?
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

At least don’t take a nap in a cremation container....sitting on the conveyor belt that goes into the furnace. Ai-yai-yai! That’s ASKING for it.
This post cracks me up!
I knew that Freepers would not disappoint. When I put up the article at first I did not know it was satire, but I said to my husband, ‘I’ll put this up on FreeRepublic, the answers aught to be good’ lol. Then I read yours!
Horrific satire: "Disclaimer: This is satire." But it is a description of the lost in Hell-Fire:
Before anyone could notice the mistake, he had already been exposed to temperatures ranging between 1400 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit and reduced to ashes. Jenna Anderson, one of Mr Jones’s coworkers, says she heard him scream for about 15 seconds after the crematory was activated. “At first, we didn’t understand where the sound was coming from. When we realized what was happening, it was too late. We shut down the heating system, but he was already dead.”
Like a Batman episode.
best....story...ever.....(of course not for the sleepy guy)
Not sure what part of that story qualifies as satire. It’s just a fake story.
One of those Practical Joker websites had one where there was a new guy being introduced to the cremation procedure.
They loaded the corpse into the oven and lit it up.
Immediately there were screams of agony. The Joker started screaming “OMG! He’s alive! Turn it off! Turn it off!”. The poor mark ran around like crazy trying to shut everything down until minutes later, he just about collapsed. The Joker thought it was funny.
I would have shoved him in next - and not shut down any valves.
