Body Donation for Medical Research: A Compassionate Funeral Alternative

If you or a loved one is considering cremation, making a whole body donation for medical research is one of the most compassionate funeral alternatives available today. Making an anatomical donation will not interfere with your desire for a cremation. Rather, a donation can reduce the burden of funeral expenses while bettering the condition of humankind.

The cost for donating your body to science is next to nothing. Unlike a traditional funeral, which can cost $10,000 or more, the cost for donating your body to science through LifeQuest is minimal. The only costs associated with this funeral alternative are for the death certificate, processing of paperwork, and the option of returning the cremated remains. A donor’s estate does not even have to pay for the cremation. LifeQuest provides cremation services free after recovery has been completed. Making a body donation for medical research is not only a compassionate act; the donation is an affordable act as well.

For someone who is alive, donating their body to science is much like pre-planning a traditional funeral. After meeting LifeQuest’s donation criteria, a potential donor is sent a registration card and copies of the consent forms. The next of kin and two witnesses must sign the donation card and consent forms in order to clearly indicate that a body donation for medical research is the donor’s final wish. Planning for the donation process is completely under their control. LifeQuest’s consumer education services for the whole body donation program will be happy to provide those who are considering a body donation to science with the assistance needed to make an informed decision.
