A coconut that was placed inside a coffin "sent fear" through staff at a crematorium when it exploded.
Bolton Council has urged mourners to abide by crematorium rules and not "slip" items into coffins.
Donna Ball, Assistant Director of Community Services, said a "hell of an explosion can sometimes occur".
Other items of concern include mobile phones, TV remotes, e-cigarettes and bottles of alcohol.
Ms Ball told the BBC: "We are asking people to be considerate regarding the items they place into coffins before the cremation process.
"We have seen a rise in things like e-cigarettes, bottles of whisky and vodka, golf balls, sometimes golf clubs, and mobile phones. Mobile phones in particular are a real issue for us".
Ms Ball said: "Usually the funeral director will pick them up but sometimes things are slid inside peoples' pockets and they are just not picked up during the process, then when they go through the cremation process a hell of an explosion can sometimes occur".
She added that electrical items with batteries also push crematorium emissions up to "unacceptable levels".

We presume to believe that this would be UN-poped kernels, rather than the Cracker Jack variety
Better check all the old Clinton dead for Hillary’s cell phones and lap tops.
Cheap booze bad, gold crowns good.
Probably sensible at the time, but...cremation sorta negates the possibility of dialing. Not to mention the lack of cellphone service in the afterlife.What the hell plan would cover that?!
Think coconut.

2. The human skull is full of holes
Besides your peeper holes, your smellin hole, and your pie hole, the skull is full of tiny holes called foramina. These openings allow for the passage of the nerves and blood vessels that innervate the face. The largest hole in the skull is where the vertebral column joins the base of the skull, and is called the foramen magnum.
Lots of holes mean no pressure build up, i.e., no "coconut explosion".
Besides, the holes you mention have a number of tissues between the inside of the skull and the outside of the head that impede a direct connection to the outside world.
If there were no such tissues our brains would get easily infected.
And don’t drink it all up.
