The medical condition of the organs and tissues at the time of death determine what can be donated. We can pledge now to be a future donor. There are never costs to the organ or tissue donor s family for the donation. Major religious groups encourage organ donation. Discuss this, if you wish, with your clergy.
Donation is a surgical procedure respectful of the body.
There is no need to change your desired funeral arrangements. An open casket service is possible. By completing an anatomical gifts card and notifying your family and agent, you can make a gift of improved quality of life or even life itself to another person in the event of your death.
