Just an FYI on the cremation question:

Crematoriums do not cremate bodies with any clothing, jewelry, etc. on. If you send the body to the crematorium with any clothing, jewelry, or other personal property, the crematorium will remove those items before the body can enter the cremation bay, and will either return the items to the next-of-kin when the cremation is complete, or will dispose of the items accordingly (depending on the preferences the next-of-kin has specified on the legal documents the next-of-kin fills out ahead of time).

This is all because metal in the cremation bays can cause damage to the bays. That's why the crematoriums are so specific (almost frighteningly so) about what sorts of items are being burned with the body. The overarching policy is that ONLY the body is allowed to submitted to the cremation bay.

Sorry to be so morbid, but this is all in the way of saying that there is no way a person would be cremated with his/her badge. It simply wouldn't happen!
