Tangentially related:

The word mummy originally referred to a medicine, now called mummia, made from Egyptian mummies.

Ground up Egyptian mummies have been used in pigments too (mummy brown). Many paintings from the Pre-Raphaelites used this pigment. The artist Edward Burne-Jones was reported to have ceremonially buried his tube of mummy brown in his garden when he discovered its true origins.

There was even an entire counterfeit scene for Egyptian mummies where fresh corpses were embalmed and sold off for use in medicine and pigments!
