The energy in a single pacemaker battery is still significant. If any person who has a pacemaker is (post mortem) to be cremated - the pacemaker has to be removed beforehand.

The battery can explode inside the cremation chamber with such force that it can damage the firebricks. And this is not a joke. Every funeral director will ask the question of the family when cremation is specified.
