will the teeth burn? I'm not talking about cremation. I mean if you burn it in the backyard in a fire barrel or something?
I'm sure there would still be chunks of bone fragments left. What about the teeth?
Anyone know?

The teeth will remain intact. The pulp therein is typically how they extract DNA evidence (and thereby identify the body) from a victim who's been incinerated in a car or something.

Oh No!!
Doubting Thomas found out where you lived and called at your door with a gas station bouquet?
How terrified he must have been when you opened the door and he saw ... well at least he wasn't conscious for long.
Why not use a wood chipper like in Fargo, and he can be compost for your roses? Why put all that carbon into the atmosphere?

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Cute.
But will the teeth burn? I want to know what evidence there might be left besides chunks of bones; possibly the random femur.

Excellent. Now all that's left is to teach Jersey Girl how to get blood stains out of the carpet.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Can you hear the sirens yet? I'm sorry, but I just couldn't let this go any further.
Just come out quietly with your hands behind your head, and for goodness' sake don't reach for your pockets.

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