In certain instances, the Medical Examiner may retain varying amounts of tissue including whole organs after the body has been released if the tissue is needed for diagnostic purposes. If the next of kin desires to have these tissues returned to the funeral home after such testing is completed, it will be necessary to contact our office to make this request.
