    Back when he became a temple undertaker in 2005, the crematorium still used charcoal, and over the years, it upgraded to an electric crematorium powered by diesel.

    TIL there’s electric crematorium

        It is immensely more efficient to run a generator and collect/use that power precisely than to combust it and use that power directly.

          I’ve heard of something like that, but at this point couldn,'t they just plug it into a socket?

            It depends on the amount of power available at mains vs what is needed. If they need more amperage than mains can handle, a genny is about the only option unless they’re willing to pay for more electrical infrastructure assuming it’s available.
