Hey y’all, it’s Julie Mattson, and this week on Pushing Up Lilies we’re revisiting one of the most asked-about topics in my work as a death investigator: how to avoid an autopsy.This listener-favorite episode dives into the many reasons families may not want an autopsy, from religious beliefs to concerns about the body being “mutilated.” While the final decision lies with the Medical Examiner, especially in suspected suicides or homicides, I’m sharing what you can do now to minimize the chances of an autopsy later.Whether you’re new to the show or giving this one another listen, I hope it brings clarity to a subject many are curious about. Tune in!* Listener discretion is advised.
