Wow I have never heard of families having to wait several weeks to have their loved ones released to the funeral home following an autopsy. I have family that are funeral directors/county corners and i'll check with them. But I haven't personally heard of this being very common at all....
A couple of articles regarding delays. Not that it happened in this case. I just stumbled on it when reviewing that the death certification had to be signed and registered prior to the body going to the funeral home.
