{{Info|An '''electric crematorium''' is a [[Production]] [[Power#Appliances|appliance]] used to destroy [[corpse]]s as well as unwanted [[apparel]], [[weapons]], or [[drugs]].}} Despite the specificity in the name, there is no other form of crematorium.

== Summary ==
Crematoria can be used to destroy corpses, apparel, weapons, or drugs by creating bills. The building itself uses 250 W of [[power]], has {{P|Beauty}} [[beauty]], and a [[cleanliness]] value of {{P|cleanliness}}.

Crematoria produce heat while executing bills at a rate of 12 heat per second,{{Check Tag|Exact mechanic unclear|Provides comparison with other heat sources but doesn't explain how much it actually heats}}, over half the rate of a [[campfire]] and with no maximum temperature. No heat is produced when idle, even if powered on.

It outputs [[light]] in a 6 tile radius while it is powered on, with the nearest {{P|Light Radius}} tiles being above 50% light level and considered lit. As the crematorium can only be used while it is powered, and it emits light when powered, this means there is no need for additional light sources to prevent work speed penalties to the operator. The light emitted by the crematorium itself is sufficient.

If the electric crematorium left is out in the [[rain]], a [[Events#Zzztt...|short-circuit]] can start a fire. 

{{Cleanliness Note}}

=== Bills ===
Bills are worked by [[Work#Haul|haulers]]. All cremation times are scaled only by the [[General Labor Speed]] of the hauler performing the bill. In all cases, the item is completely destroyed leaving nothing behind.

==== Cremate corpse ====
{{Quote|Cremate a corpse to completely destroy it.|Cremate corpse description}}
[[Corpse]]s require {{Ticks|180}} work to cremate (modified by the [[general labor speed]] of the hauler) and are cremated together with all of their equipped gear. By default, animal corpses will be filtered out. [[Mechanoid]] corpses cannot be burned.

==== Burn apparel ====
{{Quote|Burn unwanted apparel to completely destroy it.|Burn apparel description}}
Apparel requires {{Ticks|60}} work to burn (modified by the [[general labor speed]] of the hauler), regardless of the item or material. [[Shield belt]]s and [[smokepop pack]]s cannot be burned (though [[firefoam pop pack]]s can).

==== Burn weapon ====
{{Quote|Burn unwanted weapon to completely destroy it.|Burn weapon description}}
Weapons require {{Ticks|60}} work to burn (modified by the [[general labor speed]] of the hauler), regardless of the item or material. Only flammable melee weapons, and ranged weapons made from wood ([[pila]], [[short bow]] / [[recurve bow]] / [[greatbow]] / [[flamebow]]{{BiotechIcon}}), can be burned.

==== Burn drugs ====
{{Quote|Burn unwanted drugs to completely destroy them.|Burn drugs description}}
Drugs require {{Ticks|60}} work to burn (modified by the [[general labor speed]] of the hauler), but burns in entire stacks.

== Analysis ==
{{For|an analysis of butchering vs disposal of human corpse|Human resources#Human_butchering{{!}}Human resources}}
Crematoria are work intensive compared to other methods of disposing of unwanted objects, and this typically leads them to be neglected. However they do possess some advantages that can be relevant. 

The primary alternative to using the crematorium is to dispose of unwanted objects using [[Molotov cocktail]]s. This has the advantage of burning multiple objects with one throw, and not requiring electricity or additional pawn labor. This does require a safe burning area, such as a stone floored and walled room which may need to be constructed, but which could be built for fewer materials than the crematorium itself. These "manual crematoria" can be partially automated with the use of a [[stockpile zone]] with proper filters, but require player intervention to ignite every time. Also note that the entrance must be forbidden or the [[Home Zone]] area removed to ensure no firefighters attempts to put out the cremating fire within. 

However, unlike molotovs, electric crematoria don't require [[Research#Machining|Machining]] to be researched to be be constructed, can be fully automated with bills, and do not involve open [[fire]]. This allows the player to be completely hands-off once the process is set up, which can be a significant advantage is some playstyles or colonies. 

Finally, unwanted objects can instead be loaded onto [[transport pod]]s and launched to other [[faction]]'s settlements for a modest relationship gain. This is often expensive for the gain it offers however.
