Comment on How can you make sure the ashes you get after a loved one dies is actually theirs?

You get a stone with a number carved in it beforehand. You put the stone with the deceased body. Afterwards that stone is in the urn.

How’s that going to help when they burn multiple corpses at the same time?

it lets you know they lied about what ashes you got

How? Just because you get the right token back doesn’t mean you got ashes from the body you asked them to cremate. They could be from any body in the oven with them.

Well I don’t think they do cremations in groups like that. If they do then yeah there is no way to know who’s ashes, but I would also say theres no way to prove they aren’t and really in the end its all just carbon.

Because nobody could ever put the stone with some random ashes?

Unless the cremator knows about this stone, that wouldn’t happen

They don’t do that in my country.
