Abstract

 The postmortems (PM) are generally conducted in the Mortuary of a hospital and hold a very key position in this chain and most of the times the cradle for evidence collection, which is the life line of entire investigation process but in most of the Hospitals it is very poorly equipped due to chronic neglect by authorities. Even the Honorable court has also expressed anguish over the state of Mortuaries. Keeping in view the above fact, a series of articles has been planned which will cover different aspects of functioning of Mortuaries including basic infrastructure, standardization, staf ng pattern, protocols, welfare measures and futuristic vision. The present article aims to act as an introductory guide to basic layout, infrastructure and equipment in Mortuaries. Effective work output will not be achieved till the doctors and staff will have basic facilities. The policy makers should feel the need of the hour to upgrade all existing mortuaries and build new mortuaries in required places to match with the advancement of Medical and Criminology  elds.

Keywords: Mortuary Management, Postmortem, Autopsy, Forensic Medicine.
