Our Approach

Image by Quino Al

Step 1 - Initial Consultation

The initial consultation is conducted with FMS  to discuss details of proposed autopsy case. This covers a brief discussion of the clinical and medical history leading up to the decedents passing, financials, location and date  the autopsy will be performed.

Notebook

Step 2- Schedule  Autopsy

The Autopsy  Examination will be performed in an extremely timely manner at FMS, Main Hopital. The examination can take up to 2-3 hours to complete.

Medical Tablet

Step 3- Initial Report-Final report

After the autopsy is complete, FMS will host a phone conference to discuss the preliminary finding in most cases; the preliminary findings typically do not change from the final autopsy report. A  formal preliminary autopsy report will be emailed or mailed in 24-72hours after completion of the autopsy.  The final report is established after all testing and microscopic tissue samples are finalized. This process is typically completed within 4-6 weeks. A final  report will be mailed to the family.
