Cremation is primarily aimed at reducing human remains to bone fragments. This process involves exposing the body to high temperatures in a cremation chamber, which effectively vaporizes organic matter and reduces the remains down to what are commonly referred to as ashes or bone fragments. The end product is a more manageable form of the remains, making it easier for families to handle and for memorialization purposes. This simplifies various aspects, such as transportation and interment, and it allows for a range of post-cremation options, including scattering or placing the remains in an urn.

The other choices describe processes that are unrelated to cremation. Preparing remains for burial pertains to traditional burial methods, while preserving bodies for future viewing and embalming bodies for funerals are techniques used in the context of preparing a body for a wake or funeral service, rather than reducing it to ashes.
