Yes, the LA County Coroner’s Building has a gift shop called “Skeletons in the Closet”. Their motto is “We’re dying for your business.” I don’t think you can get a real skull there, just skull-shaped stuff.
Other products: doormats and beach towels with chalk-like body outlines, post cards, toe tags, toy skeletons,… They’re really big on chalk body outlines, on shirts, mugs, post-it notes…
Now I know where to get gifts for my Celebrity Death Pool buddies.
I met an old girlfriend just after I got my bike. She had a job/internship at the L.A. County Coroner. She asked me to give her a ride to her car. I only had the one helmet, so I offered her it. She declined. I said, ‘What if we crash and your head gets bashed in and you die?’ She said, ‘Well… I’ll get to work early.’
Naw…you have to go to Berkeley to get a real skull.
Nice little place; staffed by several goth girls, when I was there last (for some Christmas shopping). They also sell candy! [sub]Insect candy.[/sub]
I had no clue this existed: thanks! I bookmarked the site and may place an order today.
Johnny L.A., thanks for the laugh. You owe me a new keyboard. And a cup of coffee. 
The stuff on the website is lame. They need real crime scene tape, not “PARTY ZONE” tape. Maybe some home autopsy kits, too.
Yeah, I gravitate to ‘the real deal’ myself. Maybe I’ll get a T-shirt, but it would be nice if they sold stuff they actually use.
I have the toe-tag keyring, which I attached to my laptop case. It’d be awesome if you could customize them, because that would be great as a Warning to Others.
True: but a couple of things, used in the right way, will be good enough to keep my cow-orkers guessing. And maybe keep some of the weirder ones away from me as well.
Amd Luminol. I want to spray it around looking for blood traces.
And real fingerprinting kits.
And home embalming kits
I think they used to have t-shirts with the slogan; “Our day begins when your day ends”.
That is all kinds of awesome.
I kind of imagine a coroner has a knife and blade kit something like the one in Dexter. I want one of those.
