Information on submitting subjects for Necropsy from internal clinicians. General information Prior to submission, please ensure that the necropsy request has been entered into Provet (including relevant history) and that the cadaver is labelled with the Provet ID number and animal details. Please contact the duty pathologist or the post mortem room technician for help with specific queries. You can also contact EBP Reception on 51-7458 between 9.00 am and 5pm for general guidance. Please deliver cadavers to Necropsy as outlined below (Delivery of Cadavers to Necropsy). Private cremations (small animals) If the animal is for private cremation, please ensure the cadaver is in the correct type of bag and clearly labelled for private cremation. EBP is unable to organise individual cremations - this is the responsibility of the submitting clinician. Cadavers for cremation are collected regularly from EBP by Pet Crematorium. Please liaise with the post mortem room technician on individual cases.
