Frequently asked questions about the body bequest program

The next of kin usually notifies the Bequest Program Coordinator, but contact can also be made by medical staff and funeral directors.

The Bequest Program Coordinator then contacts the doctor certifying the death to ascertain suitability of the donor for the bequest program.

If the University accepts a donor we take care of the transfer of the donor to The School of Anatomy & Human Biology and notify and register the death with the relevant government authorities.
