Chain-of-Custody Software Built for Cremation Care

Verified Cremains gives funeral directors and crematories a secure, modern platform to track every set of cremated remains from intake to release — with full accountability at every step.

Every Set of Remains Deserves Accountability

Funeral homes manage dozens — sometimes hundreds — of cremated remains at any given time. Paper logs, spreadsheets, and sticky notes leave gaps in the chain of custody. Remains get misplaced. Families wait too long. Compliance deadlines pass unnoticed. Verified Cremains replaces all of that with one clean system that tracks every case from the moment remains arrive to the moment they're returned to a family.

Everything You Need in One Platform

Purpose-built tools for cremation care — not generic software adapted from another industry.

Case Management

Create and manage cases from intake to release. Track decedent details, removal info, contacts, service tracks, and every status change along the way.

QR Chain-of-Custody

Generate QR-coded labels for ankle bracelets, cremation boxes, urns, and paperwork. Scan to instantly verify identity and log custody events.

Storage Shelf Mapping

Map your physical storage — coolers, shelves, rooms, positions. Always know exactly where every set of remains is located.

Cremation Authorization

Role-based, two-party authorization workflow. Referring homes authorize first, then your crematory confirms. Full audit trail on every authorization.

Compliance & Reminders

State-specific hold periods auto-calculated. Automatic reminders for contact milestones, unclaimed deadlines, and disposition due dates.

Partner Portal

Referring funeral homes get their own portal to track referred cases, authorize cremation, and know when cremains are ready for return.

Reports & Audit Export

Storage inventory, unclaimed cases, cremation auth logs, county cases, compliance status — all exportable to CSV for audits and regulators.

Family Progress Sharing

Generate a secure link families can visit to see a real-time progress tracker — from intake to release — without needing to call.

Multi-Site Support

Manage multiple facilities under one organization. Assign cases and storage to specific sites. Centralized reporting across all locations.

How It Works

From intake to reunion — a clear, trackable process.

For Your Team

1

Receive remains and create a case — decedent info, removal details, contacts, and flags are captured in one intake form.

2

Print QR labels and place remains in a mapped storage location. Every scan logs a custody event automatically.

3

Track authorization, service tracks, documents, and compliance deadlines. The system alerts you before anything expires.

4

When it's time, release to family or return to the referring home. The full chain-of-custody is preserved forever.

For Referring Funeral Homes

1

Receive a partner portal login. See all cases you've referred in one dashboard.

2

Authorize cremation directly through the portal — no phone calls or faxes needed.

3

Get notified when cremains are processed and ready for return.

4

Confirm pickup or delivery. Flag unclaimed cases if families don't collect.

Never Miss a Deadline

State-specific hold periods and automatic reminders ensure you never accidentally violate an unclaimed cremains statute.

Secure & Private

Role-based access control. Staff see what they need. Directors authorize what matters. No one sees more than they should.

Reduce Family Calls

Family progress sharing gives loved ones a real-time status page — reducing incoming calls and giving families peace of mind.

Streamline Partner Workflows

Two-party authorization, automated return notifications, and a dedicated partner portal eliminate the back-and-forth with referring homes.

We built Verified Cremains because we believe every person's remains deserve the same accountability as every other part of funeral care. This isn't inventory management — it's dignity management.
