I'm using amenity=crematorium. What are others using? Should it be landuse? (even though they may use little land) Marinheiro 09:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

no, this is not a landuse tag, not if we know the details of the entities being mapped. landuse is for large areas of land, with many separate entities that we do not know the details of Myfanwy 21:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

key=fuel value=<fuel> For environmental reasons it is interesting. scoid 21:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

i'm not sure, this seems bad/not map-worthy. and i think (may be wrong) they're all gas? Myfanwy 23:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

no, they cremate in different ways. Could be the same as with power plants or waste incinerating plants. scoid 07:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Rendering

Figure its self evident that we need this one but am not so confident of my artistic abilities as to suggest an icon. Maybe a sort of Greek temple thing?

• We have some "greek temple thing" icon already for town halls and alike - any other ideas? -- Ulfl 05:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Tagging grounds

I've moved this comment from the article here for future reference, and edited the article to note that mapping the grounds is an option too (this is in line with other amenities and doesn't seem controversial). Nothing wrong with the note, but it seems more suited to the talk-page. --JeroenHoek (talk) 15:48, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Note: it appears to be fairly common for crematoria that aren't in cemeteries to have an area drawn around the whole crematorium grounds and the tag applied to that, with the building(s) drawn inside that area, similar to mapping schools (as one example). A simple analysis of NW Europe data in January 2016 using Overpass and JOSM found that 18% of ways tagged amenity=crematorium didn't have a building tag of any description. Examples: 367767828 367767828, 90992600 90992600, 86315052 86315052 --EdLoach (talk) 10:47, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
