Just interested, if you don't mind me asking, what does working in the bereavement office entail? I mean, what did the office actually do and what was your role? Thank you.

Is it true that the body swells from gases if, for example, it is warm after death?

What would be the cause of death if I jumped 130 feet into cement and land on my chest/torso area. Among jumper suicides what is the most common position they land in

If I die by suicide and I leave an explicit not saying that I want to be cremated straight after, can the authorities still bring me in for an autopsy?

Thank you for offering to answer questions. Not sure if you'll know this one... If a person suicides at home, leaves out ID etc. will they still require a relative to identify the body? I really wouldn't want my family to have to do that. They live hundreds of miles away for a start. Do you think I could ask them to check via dental records and give them my dentist's details? I have pretty distinctive, f*cked up teeth. Lol. Thank you.

Thank you for this! I'v read the thread from @mehdone where he explains in detail the processes in the states, what do you mainly do in the bereavement office? what is the process of autopsies? do all deaths receive them? Are all hangings autopsied? Is there a process you guys do to determine if they were suicide? Do suicide notes in any way affect your process? TIA.

Yes, unless the Coroner wants an autopsy. Say you want Direct cremation only.

I mainly do assist with autopsies but because I returning to Work after beting Off sick they are puting me in Admin. The Office usually arrange for funeral directors to pick up the deceased. Issue death certificates. Arrange the viewing room. Dress the babies ready for the family to see the them. That's the hardest. Most hangings are, especially if there was no known mental health in your doctors notes. A lot of murders are done via hanging to make it look like the person committed suicide. Autopsy will show up. Of course depends from country to country. Some will see a hanging and not autopsy.
