Abstract (en)

This invention provides cooling apparatus 22 for a cremator 10 in order to prevent premature varnish ignition in a coffin 20 or wasteful heating and cooling of the whole cremator 10. The apparatus 22 includes a plurality of nozzles 24 connected via at least a pipe 26 to a water supply so as to form a curtain or spray of water across the cremators entrance 12 when a door or gate 14 is opened. The formation of the spray curtain may be automatic or manually controlled. The exterior of a coffin is thus cooled immediately on entry into the cremator, thus avoiding the ignition of its varnish before the door 14 is closed. <IMAGE>
