Words are inadequate to capture my deep loathing for this word. Of the many atrocities perpetrated against the English language on a daily basis, this surely has to be one of the worst.
And while it may have been coined before the cranberry growers of America launched their shameless attempt to annex each of the other fruits, one by one, by deploying the prefix 'cr' or 'cran' (cranapple, craisins), now that 'craisins' scream at us from supermarket shelves across the land, no thinking human being should stoop to using the word 'cremains' ever again. Do you really want to create the indelible impression that your loved one's remains could be consumed as a zesty relish with your thanksgiving dinner?
Thank you for indulging my rant.
