LA Coroner's Office Gift Shop If you really want to visit Skeletons in the Closet, as the gift shop is known, be aware that the Office of the Medical Examiner is considering closing, or at least relocating, the shop at an unknown future date. So go while you can. As this is a government facility, it's not open on weekends, so factor that into your road trip itinerary. The building, by the way, is the former Los Angeles General Hospital and is quite beautiful (the inside of the gift shop doesn't show much of the old architecture, but the lobby gives you a glimpse).

LA County Coroner's Gift Shop I love their products; some are available online. The coroner's office deserves commendation for using the proceeds of its sales to teach teens/young adults about the risks of mixing drugs, liquor, and driving.

LA County Coroner's Office Gift Shop This place has an extremely morbid sense of humor, so if you're easily offended this stop is not for you. Be mindful that when you enter the coroner's office through the visitor's entrance there is a chance you will encounter grieving families in the waiting area. To avoid the embarrassment of having to ask the receptionist where the gift shop is as these individuals are mourning, the shop is the first door on the left-hand side when you enter the building (directly across from the receptionist). As the sign requests, be respectful to those families who are there on "business" and don't enter or exit the building laughing and making death jokes. Save that for the inside of the shop -- the woman who runs it is extremely nice and good-humored!

LA Coroners Office Gift Shop Los Angeles, among other things, is known for the unique and the bizarre. This gift shop belongs in this city. All of the regular gift shop items can be found here (clothing, magnets, doormats, even a Christmas ornament that doubles as a sun catcher!). The selection and the gift shop itself is on the small side. However, if you are looking for that one-of-a-kind gift, look no further. Whatever you pick up there is sure to be a conversation starter. Or a conversation ender. Also, don't leave there without checking out and sitting in the ultra-cool coffin couch that is on display!
