Mom died Thursday morning.
We have medical records and tests going back 3 years indicating strong medical negligence.
We're trying to contact medical malpractice attornies.We believe we have a strong case.
In the meantime, should we go ahead and cremate the body, or wait and get an autopsy?

Getting an autopsy would certainly help, but private autopsies are expensive ($ 1,000 to several thousand).

wait to see what the lawyer says.

DUH! you wait for autopsy. If you were to cremate her body all evidence would be gone. Hire an attorney to handle this matter.
I'm very very Sorry to hear about your mom. RIP.

OH my goodness ~ I am very sorry to hear about your mother
May she rest in peace
I would defiantly hire an attorney after you interview a few and then be advised so wait to do anything w/ her body at this time but you need to basically set the next week focusing only on this situation which I know can be very very difficult since you are grieving
Hang in there

Let me give my sincere condolence for the lost of your mom. Just remember you mom would want you personally to remember her for the things you did together and the good times you had Ok? And your mom is in heaven with her mom and Dad and family And relatives- friends. And in no pain. She is happy there I am sure.
As to your question. A autopsy is the best thing to do if there is neglect. If you cremate her.They can;t find the true reason why she died. As the ashes will not give them sufficient evidence to the crime of neglect. Please go for the autopsy first. And then once they found the truth of her death. Then let her be buried or cremated.

Wait for the autopsy. All it is likely to do is strength your case. If you have tests going back 3 years I doubt that the autopsy is going to kill your case. Either that or you aren't reading the tests right, because negligence with 3 years of tests aren't going to be ruined by an autopsy. Most an autopsy would show was that that wasn't what killed her. There would still be 3 years of negligence.

My sincere condolences about your mother. May I just say: you don't need to make a decision today; you're still reeling from grief.
Wait a bit, talk to an attorney (or two) and ask his or her advice. If you rush to cremation, you may be sorry later that you were so hasty. I understand how important closure is, but in this case, I would wait.
My very best to you and your family.
