Pathology
Support Services, Inc.
(PSS) was founded
in 1974 and incorporated
in California in 1989.
There are two divisions:
Forensic and Anatomic.
The Forensic Division
managed the morgue and
autopsy service for the
Sacramento County Coroner’s
Department for twenty-seven
years and for the University
of California, Davis,
Sacramento Medical Center
for thirteen years. We
also provided service
to Amador, El Dorado,
and Glenn Counties. |
In
1984 we began to receive calls
from families
and law firms to provide
a private autopsy services.
As a result of the increase
in requests from families,
hospitals, and law firms
for private independent autopsies,
PSS formed the Anatomic Division
in 1995. Currently the Anatomic
Division has offices in Sacramento,
& Los Angeles,
California, Miami, & Orlando,
Florida, Nevada, and Texas.
PSS has been
involved in over 45,000 medical/legal
and clinical autopsies. WE
