I remember this and I called Bullshit to the crematorium story. The Washington Post Claimed:
In the part of Italy hit hardest by the coronavirus, the crematorium has started operating 24 hours a day. Coffins have filled up two hospital morgues, and then a cemetery morgue, and are now being lined up inside a cemetery church. The local newspaper's daily obituary section has grown from two or three pages to 10, sometimes listing more than 150 names, in what the top editor likens to "war bulletins."
One should have been very suspicious of the motive that the mayor of Bergamo, Italy had because of his fantastic claim. The city might not have very many crematories. They may even have a single crematory. Do Italian Catholics prefer cremation or burial? I suspect the later.
Most modern crematoriums requires about 2.5 hours to completely cremate a single body. So, my hunch is that the mayor of Bergamo, Italy didn't have very many crematories or the mayor was flat out lying about the death toll and the crematoriums.
One completely cremated body requires 70 lbs. of coal = 308 kWh, or 1.05MBtu.
Let’s look at the factors for cremating a typical body.
We know the following affects the cremation time of an individual.
-- Size of and weight of the body
-- Percent of muscle mass to body fat
-- Performance of the cremation equipment
-- Temperature at which the cremation equipment is operated at
-- Type of container in which the body is placed.
Obesity and larger muscle mass would actually prolong the duration of cremating a body. Since higher temperatures require higher amounts of fuel along with more frequent maintenance and replacement of the crematory’s refractory, we will use the temperature range used in modern crematoriums as being 1400-1800 degrees Fahrenheit.
When a body is cremated, it is the skeletal remains that take the majority of time to break down and carbonize. The human skeleton is composed mostly of carbonates and calcium phosphates. These elements give bone its extraordinary strength and durability and allow it to survive the intense heat required for cremation when all other body tissues are destroyed. At approximately 1292 degrees Fahrenheit, calcium phosphates begin to fuse together and change in color and shape. The cremation process leaves behind certain bone fragments and require pulverization. Modern crematoriums use a pulverizing machine that uses ball bearings or rotating blades, like a blender and is called cremulator.
So, the length of cremation is determined mostly by the skeletal process of breaking down to carbonates and calcium phosphates. The biological muscle and fat of a cremated body act at first as insulation until it is vaporized (75 percent water) and then the remainder turns to ash. The human skeleton represents approximately 14% of the average human male’s weight and 10% of the average human female’s weight. This equates to an avg. of 12% for both male and female.
On avg., human bones consist of 31% water. An average human body today will produce on average 3 to 9 pounds of ash or on avg. 6 lbs. of ash. The amount of ash depends usually on the bone structure of the person and not so much their weight [source: Ellenberg].
So, it takes today on avg. 2.5 hrs. to cremate an avg. weight individual. With no cooling time to pulverize the skeletal remains, we will neglect this important facet of the cremation process and assume the cremation furnaces are running nonstop 24 hours a day. We are giving the best case scenario possible of cremating bodies.
This story was a fantastic lie to shock the conscience of the public just as we saw crisis actors in China falling over and twitching and being told of massive deaths. Just as we were told about the 27 Kirkland Nursing Home 'COVID' deaths. The Kirkland nursing home was never properly investigated, but was covered up instead. It was used to shock the conscience of the American people.

Let’s look at the math for the Wikipedia claim of 3-5 bodies were cremated together. Modern crematoriums takes 2-3 hours to cremate a single individual.
