Because no two funeral homes or crematoriums are the same, the only way to know if DNA is present in cremated remains is to test them in a laboratory that specializes and uses the latest technology in forensic cremation. Finding DNA in cremated remains is contingent upon the amount of oxygen that was available, length of time in, and of course the temperature of, the incinerator. These all drastically vary because each funeral home & crematorium have different models and types of incinerators and each will vary in age and quality of maintenance which will affect the overall effectiveness of the cremation. No funeral home or crematorium have the same incinerator and do not cremate a body the same way.
The majority of the cremated remains sent and tested by Private Lab Results typically will have large fragmented bone and or teeth that can be tested for trace amounts of DNA.
In the past five years new research has greatly heightened forensic scientists' knowledge of how to detect and extract DNA from skeletal remains that have been subjected to extreme heat. However, most forensic scientists and laboratories around the world still struggle to retrieve usable DNA. This is because many do not have access to, or are unaware of, new alternative approaches which can undeniably increase the amount and quality of DNA information drawn from cremated human remains.
DNA is typically destroyed by high temperature when a proper cremation is conducted. However because of the inconsistencies of funeral home and crematorium industrial cremators or incinerators, Private Lab Results labs has been successful in doing so.
