Metal body parts from the dead are being recycled into road signs, lamp
posts, car parts and aircraft engines. Steel hips, plates and screws
from legs and skulls are collected after cremation and sent off for
recycling. Even metal plates from false teeth and tiny fragments from
fillings can be recovered and re-used, together with metal fittings on
coffins. High value metals which survive the 1000-degree cremation are
then sold for use in the automobile and aeronautical industries.
Money made is donated to charity and almost £1million has been raised
for good causes since the project began in Britain in 2004.
