No autopsies are not performed on each person who dies this would be impossiable. An autopsy is usually performed when the events leading to death are unclear, such as murders or foul play is suspected. Autopsies are also done on people to determine things such as how the cancer affected the body (or any other disease that more research would help to improve medical care.) Families can also request an autopsy to be done but then they would have to pay all costs involved which can be very expensive. IT IS A STATE LAW THAT THEY BE PERFORMED ON EACH PERSON THAT DIES OR UPON THE DEATH OF ANYONE.

Do you have to have an autopsy to be buried?

No. It depends on the laws of each state or country, but usually only for suspicious, violent or unatural deaths, deaths in care or custody, or the death was not reasonably expected to be the outcome of a health procedure. In the majority of deaths, an autopsy is not performed. Not every dead person has an autopsy. Only if the family wants to know what caused the death.

Then when the second one dies the will is followed.Not married couple:If each one has a will, then the wills are followed separately with the will of the first decedent taking precedence, which is important because they may have left assets to the one that died second.If one does not have a will, state law is used for that person and the will for the other.
