Can Cremation or Funeral Services Be Free?
Some families may qualify for no-cost services through whole body donation to science. Here's an honest look at how it works.
Some families may qualify for no-cost services through whole body donation to science. Acceptance depends on eligibility, medical history, timing, and BioGift’s review. If accepted, donation-related transportation, permits, cremation, and partial return of cremated remains may be covered by BioGift. This no-cost option applies strictly to Cremation and does not include Burial services.
Whole body donation supports medical research and education. It is different from organ donation for transplant.
Acceptance is never guaranteed. Subject to BioGift’s review.
