Is Body Donation a Funeral Alternative?

Facing the grief of losing a loved one is hard to endure. Adding the financial burden of funeral services can compound the problem. Death is a natural part of the journey of life. Unfortunately, the average cost of funeral planning can run between $7,000 and $10,000, which can be unaffordable for many families.


Body donation is an alternative to a traditional funeral, burial service or cremation. By registering for body donation, families and their loved ones can contribute to the development of medical and scientific research, provide students with quality education, and give to a meaningful cause.


Additionally, the entire process is no cost, with cremated remains returned to the family upon completion of the donation. 


Body donations have contributed to research for developing better treatments for everything from cancer to the development of medical implant technology. The donation process is made with the highest quality of care and respect, conducted by trained professionals dedicated to making your donation a valuable

contribution to medical and scientific communities.
