Weird. When the remains of my eye were enucleated, I was told the bits went into the hospital incinerator. I’m almost sure my family wasn’t charged for the cremation.

If capitalism can charge you for it, they will. I'm surprised we can still breath the air without paying for that as well.

This was in the late 1970s, I'd be delighted to find out they don't bury our parts and charge us for the burial anymore. There's some kind of Catholic teaching against cremation though.
