Is it true that human cremated remains are fine ash produced by burning the body, rather than pulverized bone fragments?

No. One reference source states that cremated remains are not ashes in the usual sense but dry bone fragments that are pulverized into powder, which contradicts the claim that they are fine ash produced by burning.
