Help Will the medical examiner make the family identify the body (USA)?

[poofart]

I'll be CTB soon, outside of the house. I'm going to leave a note and my ID, as well as a notice to emergency services. All that said, will my family still have to identify my body? I'm using a gun, and my face will probably end up horribly disfigured. I don't want my family to see that.

I guess it depends where you live country and if you are leaving ID I think here in US it would be enough to ID you and use dental or Genetics and have family not see you the way they find you . World is cruel but if they can I think they would try to NOT let your family see that end. Just tell them No open coffin leave it at that. Just my guess. Peace Wish you the best possible journey and quick one to the rest and Peace you deserve.
Peace.

It depends on your county really. Some examiners would prefer it, but others might not, given that you already have ID on you and it's clear that there's no misconduct involved (the note can clear this up).
