appendix:

1. Ashes are evidence of life in the world and have extraordinary significance for every relative who misses the deceased. Why are ashes not completely burned? This is because the melting point of ashes is as high as 1400℃, while the temperature in the crematorium generally does not exceed 1000℃, so human ashes can be preserved after intense burning.

2. Ashes are composed of very stable inorganic substances. If they are completely isolated from the outside world, they can be preserved intact for a long time. However, if the urn is not sealed well, the phosphorus in the ashes will be slowly absorbed by microorganisms as nutrients, and other inorganic substances will also be slowly dissolved in a humid environment. Eventually, the ashes will return to nature in the form of nutrients.

3. A person dies three times in his life. The first time, when your heart stops beating and your breathing stops, you are declared biologically dead; the second time, when you are buried, people attend your funeral in black. They declare that you no longer exist in this society and you disappear from your network of relationships; the third time, when the last person in the world who remembers you forgets you. Then, you are truly dead.
