Do you accept all bodies?
What are the costs involved?
What are the Missouri laws concerning the gift of body donation?
Can there be a funeral service if my body is donated to PHSU St. Louis?
Following death, the body needs to be transported to PHSU St. Louis as soon as possible for proper preparation. Therefore, the body cannot be present at a funeral or memorial service. All donors and families are encouraged to have a memorial service, depending upon their own faith and beliefs, shortly after the death.
Can my family have the cremains returned for burial?
How do I complete the donor form?
PHSU St. Louis and our students greatly appreciate your selfless gift of body donation. Please click the button below, then print, complete, sign, and notarize both forms. One should be returned to us while the other copy should be kept with your personal papers. Without donors like you, our medical students would not have such a high-quality opportunity to learn about the human body. Your body will be treated with the utmost respect and your remains will be returned to the family member designated in your documents.
