My family used to be in the funeral business, and as a kid I've gone on rides to pick up bodies in Hearses, dug and filled graves, and visited a crematorium. My aunt was friends with the crematorium operator, and we got to visit one in operation. The operator was retelling the story about the big stain on the concrete floor near the furnace. TLDR: There is a "formula" using body mass to determine whether they go in head- or feet-first. If you get it wrong, the fat sometimes liquefies and runs out onto the floor. Whether this is true or whether he was just f'ing with a young kid, I don't know.
