THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT!!!

I had been wondering what the laws concerning autopsies where cremation is involved in FLA.

Now, lets see if this BLACK AND WHITE law is upheld, or if, as we have seen in other cases involving laws that are black and white, there is an attempt to weasal out of it. I just see Greer and some judges: "We know her cause of death, so we don't need no stinking autopsy..."

I had been wondering what the laws concerning autopsies where cremation is involved in FLA.

I found that by accident. I had read multiple times that Michael planned on having Terri cremated immediately after her death. Several years ago when my mother was cremated, the funeral director explained to us that there was a 3 day waiting period after someone dies before they can cremate. I live in Wisconsin, so I wanted to see what the waiting period in Florida is. I've seen 48 hours mentioned, but haven't been able to find the law that mandates the waiting period. I doubt very much a funeral director or crematorium is going to take a chance on losing their license for MS. In the same vein, I don't think a medical examiner will risk his job even if "judge" Greer orders no autopsy.
