DNA is lost after cremation

Not after the fact.
DNA comes from blood or other bodily fluids, and skin cells. Cremation gets rid of both.
After cremation, all you have is ash.

If a small bit of bone fragment survived the incineration, maybe. The best place for DNA is their hairbrush -- you need a live follicle strand.

Yes from their bones and teeth. We cremated my father in law but his teeth remained in tact.

the only thing left is carbon which is a bi-product from the incineration. nothing else can be retained from there on

No, because the cells are all burnt to a crisp and not usable.
