CORONERS LAW RESOURCE

Your deceased relative may not have to have a Post Mortem these days...however, I hear it will cost relatives around £600 to have a scan instead.

"There is now some experience in the UK of carrying out postmortem investigation by means of magnetic resonance imaging ('MRI'), or 'scanning' in popular terms.

This is a non-invasive procedure, and hence more attractive than a conventional autopsy for those relatives with personal or religious objections to that course. "
