Receiving

Processing the body can involve one or multiple departments, all handling the decedent with utmost respect. It is determined if a systematic internal examination, or autopsy will be performed, or if the decedent will only be externally examined with toxicological samples taken for analysis.
After examination, the assigned pathologist signs out the case and releases the decedent to the funeral home.
