Family of the deceased is in advanced told to remove any metal piece that the body is wearing, but in case something remains it is carefully removed and handed over to the family.

Few people doubt of coffins being reused. But instead the reality is coffins too are burnt with the body and the plastic handles melt. Nothing, clearly nothing remains to be reused.
