The Crematorium is the intended solution. It is a power-backed, fire-proof, automated machine. Here is how to use it best.

| Method | Best For | Speed | Labor Cost | Resource Cost | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Electric Crematorium | Daily 1-10 corpses | High | Medium (haul+craft) | Low (250W) | | Stone Fire Room | 20+ corpses (tribal raid) | Low (setup) | Low (1 haul, 1 throw) | 0 (stone & 1 molotov) | | Butchering | Cannibal colonies | Instant | High (butcher+craft) | 0 | | Graveyards | Never (except colonists) | N/A | High (digging) | High (space) |

The single biggest mistake players make with cremation is Hauling Priority.

Solution: The Buffer Zone

Result: Your dedicated hauler brings 5 bodies quickly while your crafter burns continuously with zero travel time.

This method utilizes game mechanics to cremate with zero labor.

Note: This is risky. Fire can spread. The "Best" version of this is to build a small concrete shed specifically for this purpose.
