Choosing Anatomical Donation

Benefits to Family

The donation process includes the following free of charge:

• Transportation of the body from anywhere in the continental U.S.
• Filing of a legally-required original death certificate
• Standard cremation
• Quick return of ashes for timely closure for families
• Family assistance through the aftercare process
• Summary packet to the family outlining the benefits of their loved one's gift

Donation normally takes place within 24-hours of death. After the donation procurement has concluded, the remaining tissue is cremated and the ashes are available to the family at no cost within approximately three weeks. The expediency of our program makes possible a timely closure for families.
