How One Preserved DNA Sample Helped Uncover a Life-Saving Genetic Risk

A family came to us after losing their father unexpectedly. Before cremation, his DNA was preserved through our service at the funeral home. Months later, his daughter—just 32—was experiencing unexplained symptoms. Her doctors suspected a hereditary condition but lacked critical data.

Because her father’s DNA had been banked, they were able to perform targeted testing. The result? A rare but serious genetic mutation that put her at high risk for sudden cardiac events—the same silent risk that may have taken her father’s life.

Thanks to her father's preserved DNA, she now receives proactive care that could one day save her life.

This is more than a keepsake. This is medical foresight. Family protection. Legacy made practical.

Preserving DNA after death gives families tools that medicine can’t always offer in the moment.

We are sometimes asked if we can get DNA out of cremated remains. Unfortunately, the temperature of cremation destroys DNA, so a sample must be collected before cremation if the family wishes to do preservation or testing. https://dnamemorial.com/
