Would the furnace be able to contain it just fine, or would it explode, or would the flaming battery juice melt through the hull of the container, or what?

I just had a quick search about temperatures in a crematorium. Around 800 °C. A structure that can withstand that sort of temperatures is probably also able to withstand exploding batteries. If I remember the Galaxy 8 disaster, they go pop and then it's just mostly a chemical reaction releasing heat and gas. 30 batteries might be a lot. It may not end up destroying the place but it will possibly leave it in need of repair.

Why do you want to create this sort of fireworks show in a confined space where under normal circumstances nobody will be present to witness it?
