> artificial joints

Would you have to remove the joints as well then? How are you meant to properly dispose of something like a knee or a hip?

My friend burned bodies in a crematorium, he said that afterwards he would sift through the ashes for things like hips and pins and screws.
That sounds morbid
But potentially lucrative at the market price of titanium
But, for real, there’s companies that recycle artificial joints.
Autoclave and sell for scrap?
Make it a modern art piece? Titanium hips look pretty dope
