    I am about 90% sure my dog’s ashes are bullshit because the bag lacks about $3k worth of titanium implants he had. If I wanted to keep picking that scab I would have totally made a deal about it, but at the the end of the day, the urn is about the memories and those are there regardless of the contents.

      The remove metals during the cremation process and usually contact with a metal recycling company. You can imagine if they left metals intact it would make it difficult to put them in the pre-sized containers. Standard procedure, as I understand it. You could have asked for them returned with the cremains, but most people don’t want them, so I don’t think it’s common to prompt people about it.

      I imagine you meant the procedures were expensive, not the metal itself.
