F.Y.I (for your information)

We offer private certified lab testing pertaining to human and animal post mortem tissue and cremains (ashes, bone slivers, etc).  So if you are searching for DNA determinations on post mortem tissue, hair, nails, or blood, we can help you.  Often times hair, urine, tissue, or blood samples are retained by your County Coroners office. The samples may have been collected from an autopsy procedure or from testing the blood or urine by a hospital or clinic prior to your loved one's passing.  The hospital where a baby was stillborn may have saved similar samples which can be utilized for DNA and/or toxin evaluations.

What is DNA?

Deoxyribonucleic acid: an extremely long macromolecule that is the main component of chromosomes and is the material that transfers genetic characteristics in all life forms.

Cremation 

Cremation is the practice of disposing of a human or animal corpse by burning the remains in a retort or oven which usually takes place in a crematorium or crematory. Cremains are described as any physical remains that are found in the commemorative urn following the cremation of a corpse, human or animal.  By law, human corpses are to be cremated one at a time.  Animals can be cremated as a group depending on size, the efficiency of the retort, and the customary operating procedures of the crematorium director.  Customarily a metal identification tag able to withstand the high cremation temperatures (760 to 1150 °C (1400 to 2100 °F) is placed on the corpse prior to cremation.  When the cremains or ashes are urned the I.D. tag is also urned with the ashes. As you can likely see the identity of the cremains still requires a high degree of trust from the entity that provides the services.  Would you agree that this fact is something to think about? How would you know for sure if in fact your loved one 's remains are within the urn that has been turned over to you following the cremation? You or a family representative would need to be present to insure that the corpse of your loved one was in fact the one placed in the retort and then urned. You or your chosen representative would need to witness the removal and urning of the cremains. Thanks to a newer technology known as nuclear DNA, cremains can be suitable sources for DNA profile extraction for comparison to a reference DNA sample.  The use of Nuclear DNA is common to forensic or court of law case proceedings. Cremains, depending on the efficiency of the retort, can offer the potential for evaluating for the presence of heavy metals including arsenic, mercury, lead, and many others.  Our clients have resorted to cremains DNA extraction and/or toxin, poison, and heavy metals testing evaluations when there simply was no other choice for postmortem investigation such as autopsy or post mortem tissue samples. If you have any doubts or uncertainties about the cremation of your loved one you need to call us now.
