What’s the difference between a private and hospital autopsy?
A hospital autopsy is typically performed for internal review or education and may be limited in scope. A private autopsy, such as those we coordinate with Dr. Travis H. Johnson, DO, MS, is more comprehensive and independent, often requested by families or legal representatives for a second opinion or legal documentation.
Will this affect funeral arrangements?
No, our autopsy services are designed to be timely and respectful of your timeline. In most cases, a private autopsy can be completed within 24–48 hours, allowing funeral arrangements to proceed without significant delay.
Can you do an autopsy after burial?
Yes, in select cases. We coordinate exhumation autopsies, including international cases, when legal or family needs require further investigation. These must follow strict legal protocols and are handled with the utmost care and compliance.
Are your results admissible in court?
Yes. Autopsies performed in partnership with Dr. Johnson follow forensic standards and protocols required for legal proceedings. Full documentation, including written reports and expert testimony, can be provided as needed.
