seem to remember there was a bit of a 'to-do' in the Observer a few years back when someone tried to find out what happened to all the precious metals recovered from the Cremains , seems many folks were concerned about the wedding rings which thier loved ones were wearing at time of comittal , (accusations of undertakers and crematoria operators robbing the dead etc.) I think a council spokesperson at the time said that metals recovered were collected and 'weighed -in' and the proceeds went towards the operating costs of the building.
