Alexander McLennan was stabbed to death during a fight in Dundee's Kingsway East in January this year.
But his family reacted furiously when they learned he had been buried without his brain.
They were told in a letter from the procurator-fiscal's office two months ago that his brain was in a laboratory in Glasgow and were asked what they wanted done with it.
