Query regarding Coronial Inquest..

I am hoping our British friends can answer this question.

Here in Australia, whenever human remains are uncovered, the work which uncovered them must stop and the police informed - this also holds if you are unsure if the remains (say disarticulated finger bones) are human or animal.
If the remains are judged to be human the forensics team and the Coronial Police are called in and the excavation treated as a crime scene.
Once the remains have been recovered the ground is searched and sifted for any artifacts that may have been in/on the body when placed in that location and a full forensic examination carried out on the remains, as well as any inquiries that the police might be able to pursue. The results are then sent to the coroner who hands down his findings. Only then can a death certificate be issued and the remains interred appropriately.

I know that a very similar process has to be followed in Belgium and France when remains of a WWI soldier is unearthed, as for here it is a legal requirement, regardless of what is known or thought to be known about the remains.

Is this what is required to occur now with Richard's remains and is why he will not be re-interred for at least a year?

I would hope so as such an investigation would, to my mind at least, be very thorough and the Coroners report could answer the vexing question regarding the back and shoulder issue
