Every person you care for deserves proper identification.
A perfect record for 25 years. No misidentifications!
The Universal Identification System
is a patented process that provides permanent identification for people who have died. Use of the UIS at the time of death ensures proper identification of the deceased from the place of death to the final disposition. Prior to the UIS there has not been a way to identify a deceased person in a permanent manner. Therefore, problems have occurred and will continue to occur unless the UIS is used. The traumatic emotional devastation loved ones have endured as a result of wrongful identification can now be prevented with the Universal Identification System. Made in the USA!
“Since you can’t always prevent people from perpetrating abuses such as this, we felt it was crucial to at least have a nearly-foolproof system in place to make it easier to rectify these sad situations. The Universal Identification System™ is just that.”

How It Works
The UIS bracelet is constructed from a high quality corinthium metal alloy. It is 14 inches long and one half inch wide. It is designed to be placed around the wrist or ankle of the deceased. A unique tracking number is embossed into the metal, providing a permanent identification marker never to be duplicated on another bracelet. The ends of the bracelet self-lock, allowing only for the bracelet to be tightened. The UIS can never be loosened or removed. Equally as important is the fact that the bracelet can withstand temperatures within normal crematory operating conditions, ensuring that it will endure the cremation process. The UIS includes a four part carbon-less certificate bearing the name of the deceased and a unique tracking number insuring proper identification from point of death to final disposition. Copies of the form are distributed to:
- Place of death facility
- Next of kin
- Funeral home removing the deceased
- Crematory/Cemetery

Testimonials
To Whom It May Concern:
Our company built and began operating a crematory in May 2003. We reviewed the information that was available regarding systems that would provide identification of a deceased individual from the time that a family identified their loved one until such time that the cremated remains of their loved one was returned to them. Of those we reviewed, our unanimous decision was to begin using the Universal Identification System™.
After approximately 1,750 cremations, we are delighted with our choice to begin using the Universal Identification System™. Allowing the family to personally attach the I.D. bracelet with numbered disk to their loved one begins the process of closure for the family. The supporting documentation along with the stickers that are attached to the alternative container or casket has proven to be very positive assurance to the families that the cremated remains they receive are those of their loved one. We are very satisfied with the system.

I started using the Universal Identification System™ about a year ago, and I think it is the best thing a funeral director can do to give his families and himself peace of mind to assure that the right ashes go to the right family. I have had families want to witness the placement of the bracelet themselves, and who have been so grateful for such a fail-proof system. The minor expense is well worth the peace of mind, and the proof which could avoid a possible lawsuit.
