Can an autopsy be done after embalming?

Can an autopsy be performed if the body has been embalmed? Yes, however, for the best outcome, an autopsy should be performed on an un-embalmed body after proper refrigeration. If there is a long delay (beyond one week) between the time of death and the autopsy, embalming is recommended to preserve the body tissues.

HOW LONG DOES A BODY stay at the coroner’s?

Forensic examinations are usually performed within 24 to 48 hours after the death is reported. Therefore, the deceased can be removed from the Coroner’s Office immediately after the examination unless the case is a homicide. Homicides are held 24 hours after the autopsy before they are released.

Does a body rot in a coffin?

Eventually these too will disintegrate, and after 80 years in that coffin, your bones will crack as the soft collagen inside them deteriorates, leaving nothing but the brittle mineral frame behind.

Will cremated bodies be resurrected?

Ultimately, whether a person’s body was buried at sea, destroyed in combat or an accident, intentionally cremated or buried in a grave, the person will be resurrected.”
