AbstractThe doctors and staff are an important pillar of Mortuary Management. Their work and attitude directly affects not only the legal system but also the humanitarian aspects of the society. If we expect the highest quality of Medicolegal work and a sympathetic attitude towards the relatives of deceased, then we have to provide the recommended manpower not only in numbers but also in quality. Human resource and manpower management is equally important in a Mortuary Setup in a Hospital setup as important as the infrastructure. Though the Mortuary holds a very vital position but in most of the Hospitals as a bridge between the Medical system and legal system but still the demand for the requisite manpower is often overlooked. The authors in this article aim to detail the staffing pattern and their job responsibilities in the Mortuary. The recommended welfare measures of the staff are also included in the article.
