Plural form of crematorium; buildings or facilities where dead bodies are cremated.
Latin plural of crematorium (place for burning), using the -a ending. In English, both 'crematoria' and 'crematoriums' are accepted plurals.
Crematoria shows how English borrowed the Latin plural form while also creating an English plural—linguistically lazy by creating two competing correct versions, but that's how language evolves when technical vocabulary meets common usage.
