I think human parts are a hard no for me, but I'm general good with anything, though usually much less so if the product isn't being produced incidentally.
This means cow leather is generally a okay, but crocodile is something I'll shy away from.
Here's a fun story... Mark Gruenwald, the creator of the Marvel superhero team "Squadron Supreme" (a pastiche of DC's Justice League) passed away.
As part of his will, he requested that he be cremated and his ashes mixed in with the black ink on a reprint of Squadron Supreme.

His wife was also stamping his signature in books with the ash ink.

Okay, that's quite a cool memento. I might not mind that.
Same for human parts for me.
Weirdly enough, I still think my preferred way to dispose of my eventual cadaver is being made into a book.
I wouldn't want to own book me, but I love the idea of being a book. Not like a gruesome one where someone could tell right off, something more boring than that.
You would have to check the legality of that in your jurisdiction. Aaaand find someone willing to do it. It would be dope tho.... As for me, I would prefer a sky burial... Return to nature man, also metal as fuck.
Oh yeah, being turned into a book is unlikely to be worth the headache for anyone involved. The tree burials that are legal in some spots is a reasonable option. Or just donation to science.
Whatever is cheapest/lowest fuss is fine. If that means I get reused or recycled great! If not, just don't let me be a bother.
Sky burial is also awesome. Hopefully there are enough vultures to keep that up in at least some places. There's a 99% Invisible episode that talks about collapsing vulture populations resulting in issues with doing it in India.
Oh crap, I didn't know that. D:
I'm pretty confident we still have the kids' baby teeth stored somewhere in a box of mementos in the basement (where all our treasured family memories / water heater are stored). I think that is my personal threshold.
You might want to move your memories some place else a little safer. You know, just in case you have an incident with your water heater.
