,/HY AN AUTOPSr?
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
