crematoriums
Final fire facilities
Crematoriums is the plural of crematorium—a facility where dead bodies are burned to ashes.
The word refers to the building or establishment rather than the furnace itself (the cremator or retort).
The city operates two crematoriums.
The Latin-style plural crematoria is equally valid.
