What about precious metals and other metals?

Posted by: Mary Reid

The temperature at which a modern cremator operates (between 660ºC and 1000ºC) is such that metals are fused together with other materials so that they are not recognisable and have no salvage value.  Any metallic material resulting from a cremation is disposed of in accordance with the instructions of the cremation authority (usually by burial within the crematorium grounds).
