Keep post mortem procedures under review, including body part removal and consent

In any event, I recommend that post mortem procedures be kept under review. Those procedures include the removal of body parts generally, the recording of any decisions to remove body parts and the reasons for such decisions, issues of consent with regard to removal of body parts and permission to attend a post mortem and also issues regarding permission to view the deceased at various stages.
