In the analysis of human remains, the information about weight is recoverable; but its references are scarcely available. Therefore, for the recently deceased persons and dry skeletons, the mean weight was documented to investigate combustion intensity, sex and age through univariate and multivariate statistics at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore (October 2018). Fresh cadavers’ cremains were heavier than the remains of dry skeletons without any due consideration of age and gender (P-Value < 0.001 to 0.003). Gender and age had a positive effect on the heaviness of the skeletal weight as males were heavier than females. The weight reference is helpful in the estimation of sex, skeletal completeness and number of individual.
