Military Wife Donates Body to Science

Today’s Case of the Week comes from our Sarasota, FL office written by our Event Coordinator, Jan Worrel.

This was a little bit of a different request for our office.  I received a call a couple of weeks ago from a lady that was donating her body to science. With the stipulation that her daughter was to get the ashes and so she could be buried with her husband at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Rhode Island who was a Veteran. She didn’t know who to contact.

While I had her on the phone I looked up a couple of VA numbers that might be able to help. She just called me and told me she had got the information she was looking for and was in the process of making all the arrangements. We are glad she called us for help, even though we weren’t the ones who were able to complete her request. Just an interesting story to share!
