11 Most Bizarre European Ossuaries
Across Europe in many predominantly Catholic or Orthodox countries are sites known as ossuaries, often referred to as “bone churches”. Creepy by today’s standards, these churches decorated from floor to ceiling with human skeletal remains were often used in places where major plagues had hit or where burial space had become scare. Though the original intention in many areas was for bones to be buried when space became available, many of these remains are still up and hanging in these bone churches as a testament to this peculiar religious tradition.

This is what happens to metal implants after someone is cremated
When people are cremated, everything in the body is turned into fine ash— everything except for any non-organic components or implants the person may have had. So what happens to all those metal pins and knees and joints and bones? They’re recycled into new metal implants.
