no, ashes from a cremation are just fine to use on plants, its all natural after all
Toxic materials is a general description of anything which is poisonous or harmful to man, animals, plant life or the environment.
"Non-toxic" generally means non-toxic to animals and specifically to humans. It's possible for something to be more or less innocuous to animals but highly toxic to plant life. Copper, for example.

Pollution (toxic chemicals, harmful substances, etc) gets into the water supply and harms animals, plant life, and yes even humans.
A fresh start from the ashes.
ABSOLUTELY NOT! Consuming the ashes of the dead is to ingest chemicals that were created in the embalming fluid contained from the body that didn't break down during cremation. Secondly, if someone had metal anywhere in their body, you would be ingesting the byproducts of that. Then thirdly, it wouldn't just be your loved ones ashes, it would also be remnants of the other people who were created in the same crematorium. It's a very, very bad idea and could be potentially fatal. Not to mention that if you are a religious person, this is technically cannibalism. If you want to have a part of someones ashes with you or a part of you, some tattoo artists will incorporate a tiny amount of ashes in the tattoo ink. That amount of ashes is a safe level to have in your body. Eating cremated remains is a very, very dangerous practice. ***If your loved one wasn't (mutilated by a funeral services of director by being embalmed with toxic chemicals) embalmed then why ever not eat the ashes. I eat my loved ones ashes on the anniversary or other special days. Just small amounts at a time. Perhaps as much as a teaspoon maximum. Mix with a drink or however suits your situation. What a great way to remember and celebrate someones life. (or your pets life!) Not at all dangerous. High temp will destroy all the bad stuff anyway. true the ashes may not be purely of your loved ones and could contain small amount of another but otherwise it is of no concern. Be proud be hungry and eat as you would the eucharist pure love. PS I have worked in this industry and can think of no better way to offer your respect. Embalming for open casket services is a horrific mutilation and a disgusting thing to do to someone you love. More suitable to be done to an enemy or someone hated. Nothing ethical about embalming certainly not respectful. Just a way to make / take money from the weak and lonely.
