About Us
Through the use of forensic pathology we combine the efforts of legal and law enforcement investigations with those of medicine and science to ascertain the facts surrounding deaths, particularly the cause and manner of death.
On a daily basis we provide personal services to bereaved next-of-kin who call and visit us seeking help. Each decedent draws an investigating police agency as a consequence of the jurisdiction in which the death occurs, and each decedent will be followed by family members.
We provide low-cost disposition for abandoned, unclaimed human remains and for deceased members of indigent Miami-Dade County families.
We also host forensic seminars for professionals and students from around the world.
