Bodies are usually transported to the FCMEO from hospitals and other scenes of death by employees of the FCMEO or contracted body transport services. Hospitals and other health care facilities are involved by having to participate in release of the body from their facility, but are not usually involved with the transport of the body from their facility to the FCMEO. The designated funeral home transports the body from the FCMEC to the funeral home after any needed examinations have taken place.
