Meh. John Oliver told me anyone can buy skulls or bones of the deceased if they donated their body 'to science'.

i feel like paperwork comes with that kind of stuff. like the kind of paperwork you could show to clear up the nagging question of why and how you have human skulls around your place.

the skulls themselves aren't particularly suspicious or a crime in and of themselves, but it does raise questions. the kind of questions you probably want paperwork for.

There's not much paperwork involved for buying a corpse so I dunno about skeletons

There is transaction, place of purchase, delivery if there is, etc. Plenty of paperwork that can clear anyone.

Now, if it is all done in cash, in a nondescript place, and with an unknown delivery method... super sus

And to be fair, the odds of an investigator or forensic pathologist asking to see the darn thing are greater than zero. In fact, you could be saving someone the trouble of exhuming a whole coffin, just by having the thing lying around.
