At Green Farewells Crematory, we understand that end-of-life decisions can be both emotionally and financially challenging. If cremation costs become a burden, consider an alternative option that not only alleviates financial stress but also contributes significantly to medical science: whole-body donation.

What is Whole Body Donation?

Whole-body donation involves donating your body to medical science after passing. This generous act of altruism allows medical students, researchers, and scientists to study the human body, leading to advancements in medical knowledge and improvements in patient care. After the donated body has served its purpose, it is cremated, and the cremated remains are returned to the family.

Benefits of Whole Body Donation

1. Advancing Medical Science: By donating your body, you play a crucial role in medical education and research. Your contribution helps medical professionals gain a deeper understanding of human anatomy, discover new medical treatments, and improve surgical techniques. These advancements ultimately enhance patient outcomes and save lives.

2. Financial Relief: Whole-body donation covers several costs associated with the end-of-life process, including:

• Removal from the place of passing
• Transportation to our facilities
• Cremation costs

This means that your family does not have to bear the financial burden of these expenses, making it a practical choice for those concerned about the costs of traditional cremation or burial.

• Our care team will go through a medical and social interview with the family or next-of-kin and complete all paperwork that is required.

• The donor is transported to our facility. Blood is drawn from the donor to test for infectious disease, and tissues are then matched with researchers and educational facilities.

3. Compassionate Support: At Green Farewells, we ensure that all aspects of the donation process are handled with the utmost respect and care. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate support to families during this time. Cremated remains are returned to the family within 4-6 weeks, giving loved ones the opportunity to hold a memorial service or other ceremonies according to their wishes.

4. Licensed and Trustworthy Services: All cremations are performed by a licensed crematory, ensuring that the process meets the highest standards of professionalism and ethics. Your loved one’s remains are treated with dignity and respect throughout the entire process.
