If I donate my remains to medical science, can there still be a service?
In addition to coordinating the donation, your funeral service provider can arrange for either a Memorial Service or a Gathering of Friends to be held at a time and place convenient for the family. If you intend to make a gift of your organs and tissues, or your whole body, it is best to register with the local Transplant Resource Center or State Anatomy Board so that they would have the best chance to harvest organs and tissues when they are available.
