I have a good Latin-French dictionary. It says: USTOR : celui qui fait brûler
les corps. Corps means bodies, it does not say "cadavres", which would be of
animals. Cremati is the plural of crematus, meaning burned. So indeed "burned
burners of corpses or bodies" a bit superfluous. But, in these Hungarian records
the Latin used is not necessarily conform to the classical Latin terms.
We know of so-called kitchen-Latin, this may be more town hall-Latin.

Therefore the interpretation as burners of bones may well be correct.
