Our Cremation Safeguards in New Braunfels, Texas

At Lux Funeral Home & Cremation Services, cremation in New Braunfels is carried out with a documented set of identification safeguards designed to give families confidence and peace of mind. A personal identification band is applied when your loved one comes into the firm’s care, a stainless steel identification disc accompanies the remains throughout the cremation and is returned with them, and an optional viewing window lets a family member be present at the start. Because Lux owns its crematory, these safeguards are maintained by the firm’s own licensed staff. To ask about witness cremation, call (830) 624-0500.

How Lux protects your loved one’s identity

Lux applies a personal identification band when a loved one is received and pairs it with a numbered stainless steel identification disc that withstands the cremation process and is returned with the cremated remains. Together these provide a continuous, physical confirmation of identity from the moment of transfer through the return of the remains.

For families who want to be present, Lux offers an optional viewing window so a family member can witness the start of the cremation. Because the crematory is company-owned and staffed by licensed personnel, the chain of custody stays within the same business that arranged the service.

How does Lux confirm my loved one’s identity during cremation?

Identity is confirmed at multiple points: the personal ID band at intake, the stainless steel disc that travels with the remains through cremation, and documentation kept by the firm. Because there is no transfer to an outside facility, the same licensed team maintains the record from start to finish. Learn more about our company-owned crematory and our cremation services.

Cremation Safeguards FAQ

What safeguards does Lux use to protect identity during cremation?

Lux uses a documented identification process for every cremation. A personal identification band is applied when your loved one comes into the firm’s care, a stainless steel identification disc accompanies the remains throughout cremation and is returned with them, and an optional viewing window lets a family member be present at the start.
The stainless steel identification disc is a numbered metal tag that stays with your loved one through the entire cremation and is returned with the cremated remains. Because it withstands the cremation process, it provides a continuous physical link confirming identity from beginning to end.
Yes. Lux offers an optional viewing window so a family member can be present as the cremation begins, if the family wishes. Many families find this presence reassuring. To arrange a witness cremation, let your funeral director know when you make arrangements or call (830) 624-0500.
Chain of custody means tracking and documenting who has care of your loved one at each step. Because Lux owns and operates its crematory, the same team handles the process from transfer through cremation, with identification bands and the stainless steel disc verifying identity at each stage, so there is no handoff to an outside facility.
Lux performs cremations with documented identification safeguards designed to keep each individual’s process clearly tracked, including the personal ID band and the stainless steel identification disc that remains with the remains. If you have specific questions about the procedure, a funeral director will explain each step. Call (830) 624-0500.
