If you set fire to a dead body

Should I ever need to dispose of a body, I know who I’m calling.

Just keep your pantry stocked with meat tenderizer. The fire is the easy part.

Do I sound morbid?

Right?

Bodies make for a nice night light, especially Christians.

"Those who confessed were the first to be caught, then those who were accused by informers. Those sentenced to death were also mocked: they were torn to pieces by dogs, after being disguised as wild beasts, or they were crucified and set on fire at the end of the day, as torches to illumine the night."

I think...in this case, I would probably set fire to the body, while it was burning I'd clean up the bloody mess with the meat tenderizer--maybe a follow up wash/rinse with Oxiclean, throw the cleaning materials into the fire and let it burn down to crap. Then I'd stuff the remains into a trash bag, drive them up into high country with an older model vehicle with no GPS and no cell phone tracking, let nature have it's way, go get the car detailed on the way home and move on.

I think the blood could still be detected though. Hmmmm...I'll have to rethink that. Plus, there's the teeth to consider.

Oh see, this would be a mistake, too.

go get the car detailed on the way home

I am pretty sure the state of teeth would depend upon the amount of heat used. It would take applying a lot of heat to get a body to burn up completely.

I think it would be difficult to get a barrel up to a temperature which would do more than char the outer layer of a body. Perhaps a gas fired ceramic kiln would work.

I think the fire would have to burn for a good long while to burn up the body most of the way. Soft tissue at least would be gone.

Then you'd have to wait for the ashes to cool before you put them in your trash bag.

That's a long day we're talking about right there.

Given the state of things, you're best off just wacking 'em somewhere there is no camera, don't drive a car they've been seen getting into or can be tied to you, make sure you don't have your cell phone on you at any point but leave it on the couch watching Netflix for you with your pug trained to hit the buttons periodically to make sure it doesn't stall out, have a good alibi, and leave the body. The less you touch it, have it around your stuff, etc., etc., the better your odds. Or, you know, just exorcising them from your life while leaving them alive is probably better and more fool proof.

Earlier this winter you were complaining about cabin fever. Now you're worried if DNA evidence can be extracted from burned teeth. I'm not sure what the final stop is on this train of thought, but you can hear the ominous music building in the background...
