Willed Body Donation

There are several Willed Body donation programs in Missouri. These are programs for donating your body after death. Donating your body to a research institution can bring hope to future generations by:

  • Training future doctors, surgeons and other health care providers.
  • Helping researchers find new treatments.

Donating your whole body is different than being an organ donor. To donate your body, you must reach out to an institution that takes whole-body donations. Each willed body donation program differs slightly. It is best to call and prearrange any gift of body donation to science, research or education.

Questions to ask when choosing a facility:

  • How is donated tissue used?
  • Who must pay the transportation costs?
  • Is organ donation allowed with body donation?
  • Is there an option to receive cremated remains?

The following institutions have whole-body donation programs.
