    Not talking about just mixing them up. But what if one person goes home and gets ashes out of a fire place then sell them to you as a deceased loved one?

      What incentive would they have to do that? They need to burn the body anyways to dispose of it; using other ashes would literally be more work. Also there’s a pretty big difference between corpse ash and wood ash. They are going to be giving you the ashes of a burned body, there is no logical reason for them to deliberately give you someone elses ashes.
