For bodies weighing between 300 and 599 lbs, which type of retort is typically used?

The use of OS retorts for bodies weighing between 300 and 599 lbs is appropriate due to their design, which accommodates larger size and weight. OS, or "Oversized," retorts are specifically engineered to handle the increased volume and weight of these bodies, providing additional space and an optimized heating system for efficient cremation.

In contrast, standard retorts may have limitations on the size and weight they can handle effectively. Large capacity retorts, while meant for increased volume, are not specifically tailored for the weight range indicated, which makes OS retorts the most suitable choice. Custom retorts might offer unique features for specific needs but are typically not the standard solution for this weight category. Thus, for the specified weight of bodies, the OS retorts are the industry standard, ensuring adherence to safety and efficiency during the cremation process.
