The only  thing we charge is the professional fee.

Subject:	Autopsy Cost

Does anyone know of any benchmarks for the cost of doing an Autopsy.  
I am not asking what to charge patients.  I'm asking what the overhead
is.
(we do not charge for Autopsies.)  We currently have a Medical School
perform our Autopsies and may need to bring them back "in house".  I
need a general idea.  We currently do not even maintain a morgue, it is
used for storage.  
Please let me know if the price you give includes professional costs.
Thanks in advance.
