(Not sure where to post this, but this section seems "fitting.")
Have any of you had any experience with the (many) body donation services that purport to collect the remains and send them to a medical school? Here are some of them:
Biogift - Donate a body to science.
Welcome to LifeLegacy Foundation
Anatomy Gifts Registry
Whole Body Donation for Medical Research, Education and Training
I know some medical schools have body-donor programs but some only accept donations when death is within a 50 miles radius, otherwise the family has to pay (or make a donation somewhere else.)
Why do I ask? Well, first for general knowledge. Second, this is what I eventually want for myself. Third, my wife is having serious surgery next week and... well... you never know. Better to be prepared... then not.
Thanks.
