Transplant Donation
• Transplant donation involves the surgical removal of transplantable tissues from your body in under 24 hours from death.
The Gift of Life
• This should not be confused with Organ Donation, as that occurs after brain death but not before the heart stops beating and can only occur in a hospital setting.
• Transplant should TAKE PRIORITY due to its life-saving / life-enhancing nature.
• You can still do traditional funeral/cremation after transplant donation. In many instances you can still do whole body donation as well.
• Check with your local whole body donation provider to see if they will accept you after transplant donation.
