What test can be ran cremated ashes?

Cremated ashes can be tested for various elements and compounds to determine their composition. Common tests include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to analyze metal content, and chemical tests to identify the presence of specific minerals or compounds. Additionally, DNA analysis can sometimes be performed if organic material is still present, although this is less common in cremated remains. These tests can provide insights into the individual's life, including potential health issues or environmental exposure.
