Determine Autopsy Needs for Expected Death

An Autopsy is a medical procedure that determines cause of death.

If the death was expected, families may request a Clinical Autopsy to further investigate cause of death, inherited diseases, or better understand treatments used to fight diseases.

When complete, the body will be available for transport to a Funeral Home or for other end-of-life arrangements.

Contact hospice care or a hospital doctor to learn more.
