Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I am not questioning your belief or knowledge. There are so many areas in this world, where dead bodies are burnt and cremated. It is such a custom because they believe that fire can cleanse the whole body along with all the sins by burning. Burning leaves nothing but ash and ash is good for nature.

This is for the first time, at least, I am hearing such a thing. Heart is not made of immolate material. I don't know whether it is true. If it is true, this could be once in a millennium event, you have blessed to see that. That is all. Leave it aside and don't investigate more.

good luck.
