Cremation is an irreversible process and once a retort is sealed the identity cannot be restored. In our twenty years designing cremation systems for funeral service partners, we have learned that wrong-body risk is not a single point of failure. It is a chain. A chain that starts at pickup and ends at furnace entry. Short breaks in that chain cause permanent harm.
