TEST 6

The Issue -

High volume of Ash scenario

The Test -

We measure the Ash volume, taking into account

the size/style of the coffin and size of the person.

Take representative of coffin and burn back to Ash. By calculation, knowing the

type and size of coffin and the size of the person, they can predict the size of the

ash volume generated

Following investigations the FFMA has been able to offer guidance.

The standard urn is to be of a size to receive 4.6 litres of ash, and a larger ash

casket up to 6 litres should be available for bariatrics cases, and for styles of

coffins that give more ash.

If the material is submitted on calculation gives in excess of 6 litre, then it would

be a fail. See appendix 1 for further details.

TEST 7

The Issue -

Handle breakage scenario

The Test -

We load handles to check for strength

Some Coffins claim their handles are suitable for carrying. Those that do need to

be independently tested to ensure an overall standard.

Load the handle with the agreed weight. If it breaks or deforms

beyond the agreed parameter, then it would be a fail

30-50 KG
