Part of the delay.... I'm not trying to put this all on the doctors and say the doctors are negligent in their timely fashion of filling out that paperwork. There are also cases where there has been an autopsy and people are waiting for the toxicological results; they're waiting for the inquest from the pathologist. Some of those things will cause delays in certain instances. That's something that can't be helped because how do you speed up the autopsy process? That's something that I haven't even begun to try to fathom.
I find that if all of the hospitals were able to make it a policy that a body could not be released from a hospital without a signed death registration by a doctor, which would dramatically speed up the process, then you would find doctors would start signing these quicker. If a funeral is delayed because we can't get the body from the morgue of the hospital because the death certificate hasn't been signed, you're going to see doctors signing, I would assume, in a faster timeframe.
