Complete Autopsy
What does a complete autopsy involve?
A full-body examination, to which legal documentation, toxicology or any other analyses can be added. This provides the most detailed and thorough analysis of your loved one’s passing. This process ensures that every possible detail is recorded and reported. We recommend a complete autopsy if you are unsure about the cause of death or if you may consider pursuing a legal case for wrongful death in the future.
Planning for Future Needs
An autopsy is essential in positioning families for potential future needs—many of which they may not yet foresee. Selecting a team that conducts thorough examinations and provides indisputable documentation is crucial. Our expertise includes identifying and preserving samples that might be needed months—or even years—after burial or cremation.
Understanding Legal Timelines
Legal processes related to wrongful death or other claims can take years. That’s why it’s important to work with a provider committed to assisting clients long after the procedure is completed. Choosing the right team ensures you have the necessary evidence and support whenever it’s needed.
How Illume Stands Out
At Illume, we go beyond standard practices. Our complete autopsy procedures include evaluating the entire body, unlike many coroners or competitors who stop once they identify the cause of death. We document and analyze everything to provide the answers you need.
For cases involving concerns about foul play or wrongful death, we offer additional services, including legal documentation and access to examination photos for an additional fee of $1,500 which may be purchased later adn billed to your legal council. This ensures families have the evidence they need should legal action become necessary.
