A private autopsy is a thorough, independent medical examination of a loved one who has passed away. It can:
-
Confirm or clarify the cause of death
-
Identify contributing medical conditions
-
Provide answers and closure for families
-
Support legal or insurance-related cases
Every examination is performed with respect, professionalism, and strict attention to medical and legal standards.

Why Get a Second Opinion?
There are times when a second, independent evaluation of a cause or manner of death is important—such as when:
-
Questions remain after the official investigation
-
Evidence and conclusions appear inconsistent
-
A case involves legal or insurance issues
-
Families want confirmation for peace of mind
-
The case is complex or unusual
A second opinion ensures that every piece of evidence is carefully reconsidered by an experienced, independent expert.
