Total Body Donation

A pre-arranged agreement on the part of the deceased person and the donor center is necessary. Generally, these centers do not accept bodies for anatomical study if organs have been removed through donation and/or an autopsy. However, families considering total body donation may wish to consider eye donation as well.
