MIGUEL MORO, José Ignacio de; DORADO FERNANDEZ, Enrique; CACERES MONLLOR, David Antonio  e  CARRILLO RODRIGUEZ, Manuel F. Comparative normative on sanitary practices of cadaveric preservation in Spain. Rev. Esp. Salud Publica [online]. 2019, vol.93, e201906037.  Epub 07-Set-2020. ISSN 2173-9110.

In this paper the current regulations on cadaveric preservation practices required for the transfer of corpses in the different Autonomous Communities -Reglamentos de Policía Sanitaria Mortuoria- and national legislation are compared. The criteria taken into account have been: a) which sanitary practices are included in the regulations, b) which ones can be carried out in corpses posing a health risk, c) when they are compulsory to be carried out, d) when they can be carried out after death, and e) what professionals can carry them out and/or take responsibility for them. At the time of finishing the paper, a new mortuary regulation is being passed in Andalusia, as well as a decree from the Ministry of Health on technical and sanitary requirements concerning international transfer of corpses and human remains.
