FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Why is an autopsy performed?

    An autopsy may be requested by various county officials, including the Coroner, Prosecutor, or Judge. The primary purpose of an autopsy is to determine the medical cause of death and to assess whether foul play was involved. If an autopsy is requested by one of these officials, there is no cost incurred. However, if the decedent's family wishes to request an autopsy after the Coroner has concluded that one is unnecessary, the family will be responsible for scheduling and covering the expenses associated with the autopsy.


    If the Coroner’s office schedules an autopsy, we will contact you to provide important information both before and after the procedure. The results from the autopsy could take up to 90 days to finalize.

  • Can I see my loved one at the morgue?

    Visitation with your loved one is only allowed at the funeral home due to legal and health restrictions.

  • How do I obtain a Death Certificate?

    The funeral home will assist you in acquiring a Death Certificate once the investigation into your loved one's death has been completed. If you find that you need extra copies, additional certificates can be obtained from the Warrick County Health Department, for an additional fee.

  • May I contact the Coroner?

    Yes, please reach out to us with any questions you may have.
