    Well...structural fire temperatures can easily cross into crematorium temperature ranges, but bodies are often "protected" from full incineration by falling debris and whatnot. Unless you drop an entire skyscraper or two on them.

    Slightly off topic, but my uncle was a mortician. He made a horrible dinner guest because he would talk shop. I don't know if he was pulling my leg or not, but he told me that it was pretty common that when they first fired up the oven, the heat would cause the muscles to start contracting. He claimed he once saw a body sit up and start flailing it's arms! I've always thought that should be in a movie even if it's not true.

    Add a few tons of burning Magnesium and that tends to up the temperature a few degrees.
