My understanding is that it's impossible to get
just the ashes from your particular dead anyway. I also assume that when the ash guys fill your baggie they'd throw out the medical junk.
The mortician who helped cremate my grandfather told me it would be impossible to get all and only the ashes of the deceased. My grandfather had several medical implants (he crushed his pelvis/hips when a tree fell on him) and we didn't run across any of the pieces when we spread him.
