How much are human autopsies requested by family in Canada?
My dad passed away at the hospital, I requested an autopsy.
Right now, we haven't recieved a bill yet, but I think there is some cost (well worth it in my opinion), but I want to get an idea of the price range...
In suspicious cases like murder, the medical examiner would do an autopsy even without family permission etc, but in situations like my dad who died at the hospital, they actually said an autopsy wouldn't be worth it (even though the doctors and 'specialists' were crowded around him in utter confusion as he was taking his last breath).
So now I'm wondering if family absorbs the cost...
Does anyone know how much a full autopsy would cost in such a situation.. any relatable experience?

There is no cost for autopsies in Canada.
I highly recommend them, not just for you, but for future generations so they know what their medical history is and what they can expect.
