Question:
Do we have the right to request that an autopsy not be preformed upon our death?
Answers:
You have the right to request no autopsy due to religious reasons, but that does not mean that one will not be preformed. It depends on the state in which you reside and the circumstances of your death. Even if no autopsy is preformed, that does not mean they will not or cannot exhume your body at a later time for the procedure, but it has to be for extenuating circustances and a court order is needed.
