  Identification is important so that the family and the cremation company are certain that the body being cremated is that of their loved one. Many funeral homes and crematories have strict processes surrounding this and are required to get authorization before a cremation is done. The funeral home or crematory will issue an authorization form that needs to be signed by the family before a cremation can take place. Please Note That the ID of a body at times can be very upsetting to some people,
