The answer is yes. Some religions mandate that all parts must be buried together

[NathanDavis]

in Mexico, you can request amputated body parts, for burial... or cremation, and religious reasons

Catholics...

When I had my gallbladder removed I asked the doctor if I could take my gallstones home with me. He said "No, we don't do that anymore."

[ponderingpaul]

They told me the same amount my tooth st the dentist. I insisted and they provided

[LazerBean]

I would hope so, they belong to you after all.

[ponderingpaul]

Exactly!

I’ve taken teeth home from the dentist but I forgot to ask for parts of my knee from my last surgery…. Sad 😔…

Only reason I didn't take ovaries or top of my uterus is wtf would i do with it? Eat it? Jar on a shelf? Throw it at a cop on his lunch break? Lol

[ponderingpaul]

Save for the eating it bit, the other choices do show incredible potential…

I have a collection of skulls myself… admittedly bones are more fitting for collection than soft organs 😂

But jars 🫙 would add to the desired effect of my decor… 😎😈

[Agape93]

Nice
I collect certain bones and such for my altar or for some sigil work

[ponderingpaul]

Sounds bad ass
