    At PMRS, we aim to make the process of collecting your post-cremation materials and payment for their value as simple as possible.

    Send Us Your Post-Cremation Scrap

    You will receive a free, pre-paid container for collecting noncombustible materials such as pacemakers, surgical implants, and dental alloys.

    We Sort, Recycle, and Refine

    Upon arrival at our facility, all materials are weighed and photographed under video surveillance on a precision scale to guarantee accuracy and safety. Each lot receives a unique ID and is securely stored until sorting. Our certified technicians and chemists then sort and analyze the materials by alloy type, using precise methods such as fire assay to determine purity and value.

    Everything about PMRS has been a great experience. Ted is always so helpful and informative any time I have a question. The logistics of shipping are very seamless as well with containers and shipping labels provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend PMRS.

    Crematory Manager
    I am so thankful to have found Ted & his incredible business. Taking what looks like a bucket of trash, but what had nearly 10 ounces of silver in it. As a small business I can afford to be throwing my money literally away. My only regret is not discovering this service sooner.
