<\/figure>\n\nWhat is a post-mortem examination and who performs it?<\/h2>\n\n
Post-mortem examination is legally required in Germany. After a person’s death, a doctor must certify the death, document the cause of death, and issue the death certificate. Without this death certification and post-mortem examination<\/strong>, neither the burial can be initiated nor the death officially registered. nightdoc.de takes on this task in Nuremberg and the surrounding area \u2013 even at night, on weekends, and on public holidays. <\/p>\n\n A post-mortem examination by nightdoc.de is useful and necessary in the following situations: if a person has died at home and no emergency doctor was called, if a hotel guest has died and discreet handling is desired, or if the family doctor is unavailable and death certification is needed promptly. Important: In case of signs of an unnatural death, the police must always be informed first by calling 110. <\/p>\n\n After your call to nightdoc.de, an experienced doctor will come to you as quickly as possible. The doctor examines the deceased, certifies the death, documents the cause of death, and issues the death certificate. The entire process is conducted discreetly and respectfully. Relatives are supported during the post-mortem examination and receive all necessary information for the next steps. <\/p>\n\n nightdoc.de performs post-mortem examinations in Nuremberg, F\u00fcrth, Erlangen, and the entire greater Nuremberg area. Our service is available around the clock \u2013 including weekends and public holidays. Death certification is carried out by a licensed doctor in accordance with all legal requirements of the Bavarian Burial Act. <\/p>\n\n The post-mortem examination by nightdoc.de is billed as a private medical service. Costs are based on the GO\u00c4 (German Fee Schedule for Physicians). In many cases, the funeral home coordinates and handles the billing.
