Cremation of Pacemakers?

[putnam%nihrsb.dnet@dxi.nih.gov]

I understood the original message to mean that the immediate family is
questioned as to the item being in the corpse, not that it is to be cremated!
Also if cremation did occur these items can with stand much greater temps. 
than are found at a standard crematorium.
