"The History of Cremation Exhibit" is a joint project of the National Museum of Funeral History and the Cremation Association of North America. The exhibit is a first-of-its kind undertaking, telling a visual story of cremation in America.

Once visitors experience the transition from 1876 to today, they will find themselves standing before a modern cremation chamber. In the opening where the body is placed within the chamber, a video screen will detail the cremation process from start to finish. This is where they will learn the science of cremation.
