More details to this question:
Our mother was struck and killed by a car while she was a pedestrian last July. She died at the scene. Before we were able to get her released to the funeral home, we were told that an autopsy was required. After thinking about it, we called the medical examiner and told them we did not want it to be done. We were told that it was a requirement based on the circumstances.
