I verified they’re a real business. Here’s an excerpt from their FAQ:
How much does an autopsy cost?
A private autopsy generally runs between $3000 to $5000, depending on the company that you use and how many additional tests and procedures you wish to be performed.
$3000-$10,000, depending on tests required, but in this case they would only be interested in evidence of defensive wounds or trauma caused by someone else.
Bro, it’s healthcare. The coroners aren’t getting paid that, the hospital is. And yes, a Google search puts it between free (for criminal cases the state is pursuing) to a few thousand dollars for private autopsies.
Gosh, if only we had some sort of object at our fingertips that would let us look up information like that in an instant… perhaps something that could even let us look at several different sources to compare information…
Are you assuming or do you know? Do coroner surgeons really get paid that much for a few hours work? How many tests are performed?
I found a place in Colorado that does private autopsies for the entire continental US: https://www.postmortempath.com/

Because the internet said so? I can’t imagine it costing anything else.
