To Dust We Return (but implants live on) 2011

June 4, 2011
Cremated flesh vanishes. Bones shrink down to a few pounds of brittle slivers. But metal body implants easily outlast two hours or so of 1,800-degree flame. More funeral homes and crematories are recycling some of these remnants. Last month, Kearney A. Snyder Funeral Home Inc. in Lancaster sent its first shipment of “byproducts” to Implant Recycling LLC in Detroit, Mich. Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory Inc. in Lititz also sends recyclers hardware such as replacement joints and pins that once helped knit together broken bones. Ditto for Leola-based Evans Eagle Burial Vaults Inc., which handles cremations for the rest of the 33 funeral homes in the county that do not have on-site crematories. The reclaimed metal is sorted, melted down and used to make new implants and other products. No law requires this. Morticians say they’re striving for greener operations as interest in cremation slowly builds.

December 8, 2004
It’s a cold shiver on a dark night. It’s the creepy feeling of foggy cemeteries and creaking caskets. It’s funereal black and the blankness of nothing. Mark and Diane DeBord It’s inevitable, it’s unavoidable and it scares the bejeepers out of us. It’s death. Our death. The most frightening thought of all.
