There remains a certain amount of reluctance by friends and relatives of a deceased person to allow an autopsy to be performed when he or she dies. Such fears often are based on misinformation or a vague "bad feeling' about the procedure. An autopsy is performed in a hospital by a trained patholo gWt when the physician deems it necessary. He may do so or a number of reasons. Most often, he requests an autop sy because he feels it will help doctors to better deal with disease in the future. Such new knowledge helps the medi cal profession to provide more effective care to future pa • tients. Autopsy does not prevent a full-service funeral tor the de ceased. in fact, nos at all in the funeral need be made in the case of as autopsy. As funeral directors, we have had experience with this situ- ation. (1 you would like more information, or would like to talk to us, please stop by.
