Transportation of Bodies on Behalf of the Coroner for Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly

Description

The Coroner for Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly is required to arrange the removal of bodies from the place of death to a designated mortuary or body holding facility in order to allow the investigation into any sudden, unexpected or unnatural deaths reported to them under The Coroner’s & Justice Act 2009.
