Preserving a Deceased Loved One’s DNA

Genetic testing services are extremely popular today, and with good reason. They not only allow people to complete their family trees and/or connect with long-lost family members, but they also offer invaluable insights into people’s personal health, such as their risk of developing a range of conditions or diseases. But what if one of your family members has passed? Is it too late to preserve their DNA? Not necessarily.

A1 Affordable Cremation proudly uses DNA Memorial to preserve your loved one’s DNA. We send DNA Memorial your loved one’s DNA before the cremation process, and they properly store it for analysis. DNA must be collected before cremation since the cremation process destroys medical and genealogical DNA. Here are some of the reasons you should consider preserving your loved one’s DNA before cremation:

Genetic Testing

Post Mortem DNA testing is very complicated and can only be performed by specialized laboratories. DNA Memorial has the ability to facilitate any range of DNA testing needed on the deceased even in cases of extreme decomposition.

Generational DNA Library

Saving the DNA of family members over generations allows doctors to not only predict if a person will get a disease but also approximately when which is an incredibly powerful tool for saving lives.

Keepsakes

A unique celebration of life. All Keepsakes are handcrafted with the DNA incorporated right into the product and come with the DNA storage vial for testing.

New Technology

For the first time and with the power of DNA Memorial’s patented room temperature storage method, DNA can now be stored at home or incorporated into products.

Personalized Medicine

Doctors can use DNA testing to assess the probability of risk when it comes to certain genetic diseases, Many cancers can now be identified as a high risk, ensuring regular checkups, which will lead to possibly identifying cancer in its early stages.

Ancestry

DNA testing can be used as part of a search for your genetic ancestors. Many people are now using DNA tests to establish the ethnic origins of their DNA and ancestors which can be dated back hundreds of years.
