How do I make arrangements for a body to be released from the Medical Examiners Office?
The family claiming the body should contact a funeral home of their choice. The funeral home will contact this office and make arrangements for the body to be picked up. Usually the body is available for release within a day of the death, however, the body may remain at Middlesex County Medical Examiner’s Office while the family is completing their arrangements. There is no pressure on the family to have a body removed.
