Private Autopsy Services
You Deserve Answers
Independent private autopsy services performed by board-certified forensic pathologists. Available nationwide.
When a loved one dies unexpectedly, or when you don’t trust the answers you’ve been given, you have the right to seek an independent examination. FPS provides private autopsy services to families, attorneys, and organizations across the country. We handle every detail so you can focus on what matters.
Families
You lost someone unexpectedly and the cause of death is unclear, disputed, or simply doesn’t feel right. A private autopsy gives you an independent, unbiased answer.
Attorneys
You are building a wrongful death, malpractice, or criminal case and need forensic findings that hold up in court. Our pathologists provide evidence-based analysis and expert testimony.
Organizations
You need independent forensic review for insurance claims, institutional oversight, or complex investigations. FPS provides objective findings, clearly documented.
Reach Out to Our Team
Submit a request or call us directly. An FPS team member will reach out within 24 hours, listen carefully, and help you understand your options.
Share Your Documents Securely
We guide you through what documentation is needed. When applicable, you will receive a HIPAA-secure link to upload records, reports, or relevant files.
Independent, Unbiased Case Review
Your case is reviewed by one of our 180+ board-certified forensic pathologists, always selected for full independence from any involved institution.
You Receive Clear Answers
Once your case is accepted, we provide an estimated timeline, expected completion date, a summary of next steps, and the option for a phone or video consultation.
Record and report reviews start at $500 per hour. If no autopsy has been performed and an independent examination is needed, private autopsies start at $5,000.
