Abstract: A system and method of tracking and managing a decedent to prevent a loss or misidentification of the decedent during transfer to a final disposition, such as a funeral home or crematorium. The system includes a server that may be integrated into an electronic health record, with the server automatically receiving data related to a decedent used to automatically create and populate a case file. The server associates a unique scannable indicium associated with the case file and the decedent, which is scanned throughout the process of transferring the decedent to a final disposition. Prior to the final transfer, the server notifies the final location of the pending transfer and includes a copy of the scannable indicium. Upon a verification of a match between the scannable indicium, the server authorizes a safe, secure, efficient, and consistent transfer of a decedent to a final location.
