I’d expect the fleshy parts to leave at least some ashes.

  The most common ways to remove flesh from the skeleton avoiding bone degradation as much as possible are maceration (bacterial, enzymatic), or flesh-decomposing bacteria (edit: and beetles). There's not much left for cremation. Mechanically defleshing the bones would be a bit more destructive, still not leave clean bones, and at the very least would be gruesome for the cleanup crew.

    The paperwork said they use beetles, though I suppose that they could end up removing the flesh however they liked.
