Commonly Asked Questions
3. What happens to my body after the medical studies are complete?
Upon completion of medical studies, the bodies are individually cremated
and one of two options followed.
- The ashes can be returned to the family or location selected by the
family for final interment. The Anatomical Board will pay for shipping
the ashes, but the cost of interment is the responsibility of the survivors.
- If no request has been made for the return of the cremains to the
survivors, the Anatomical Board takes responsibility for spreading the
cremains over the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
