of the problems with cremation is mercury emissions. It is important to
remove the fillings in teeth before burning. It would be great to hear if
anyone knows of this as standard practice anywhere, or offered to the
families. I have always been curious if crematoria don’t already remove
teeth – for the gold, or the silver that is combined with the
mercury.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>To be "green" it must be sustainable. Allocating any

cremation...you can be scattered at your favorite place(s). Perhaps if the

contributions from people<BR>who would otherwise not likely post a message, I
wonder if listmembers<BR>would care to talk about funerals ... something that is
fresh on my mind<BR>and something that it seems many friends and acquaintances
have also had<BR>to deal with in recent weeks and no doubt, something that all
of us will<BR>have to deal with at some point in the future.<o:p></o:p></P>
