Introduction:

Between 2003 and 2005, the National Association of Medical Examiners collected data from 

medicolegal autopsy facilities in the United States. A survey form was provided to members via 

email, surveys were completed and returned by mail, and data were entered into an electronic 

database. The survey contained numerous data items about square footage, year of construction, 

number of autopsy tables, and many more data items which targeted the nature of the physical plant. 

Results:

431 separate facilities were identified in the United States. At least one facility was reported in each 

of the 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. Included was a wide range of facilities 

ranging from funeral homes to hospital morgues to full-fledged medicolegal autopsy facilities. The 

list of these facilities is shown in Table 1 at the end of this report. 

The data for 144 facilities was comprehensive and for the others there was little or no further 

information beyond the name and location of the facility. For the purpose of this report, only the 

144 facilities with complete data are included in the analysis below. 

The 141 facilities were located in 42 different states and covered a total population of at least 

145,250,731 in the USA. Thus, data were available from most states and about half of the U.S. 

population was served by these 141 facilities. A list of the 141 facilities is shown in Table 2 at the 

end of this report.

Discussion

The extent to which medicolegal autopsy facilities exist over and above those listed in this report is 

unknown, and the list reflects facilities in existence prior to 2005. A third or more of facilities at 

that time lacked features such as ceiling to floor airflow, downdraft tables, negative pressure 

autopsy rooms, and a minimum of 12 air exchanges per hour. 20% of pathologists in these facilities 

were not board certified in forensic pathology, and 8% of forensic pathology positions were vacant. 

42% of facilities were 20 years old or more, and the majority had not engaged in formal discussions 

about a new facility. 58% of facilities were described as free-standing facilities designed for 

medicolegal autopsies. 

Additional study is underway to document the names, locations, and conditions of current 

medicolegal autopsy facilities as of 2011 in the U.S.A., along with contact information for follow 

up study of the facility characteristics.
