Sat nam. Cremation must be organized in such a way as to be both respectful and allow for safety in the process. If none of the sangat there have home fireplaces, you might query the local fire marshall, who might have an idea on how to do this safely. It might involve a kind of controlled 'bonfire', outside, with sangat chanting but also fire safety accounted for. A crematorium (for dead people) may also be available for hire in this process.
