Body Donation Service
Body Donation to Science
We have proudly supported medical and educational advancement. Partnering with Aeternitas Life Company we are able to bridge the cap from having to choose from a healing service or donating to science to advance medical research. Young's Daughters has service in mind and your family at heart.
Funeral Services Before Donation
We are able to use temporary preservation to allow for time for a service to be conducted. After the service instead of processing to a cemetery or sending for cremation you or a loved one can be pledged to make the difference in science. After the research is conducted you may receive your cremated remains back within 3 - 12 months.
Celebration of Life after the donation process.
A bedside send off would be conducted followed by meeting with our Licensed Funeral Director where you will sign all necessary paperwork to be accepted into our affiliated body donation program. After 48 hours, your loved one is then prepared for science. A memorial or celebration of life service would be conducted either in our chapel, church or a venue of your choice. In approximately 3 - 12 months the cremated remains will be available for your family.
Choose how you would like your cremated Cremains or Parting Stone(s) and where your loved ones will be placed?
Your loved one will come back in the standard refined cremated remains or you can choose to be turned into 25-35 parting stones. When the time has lapsed it is a great way to bring the family together in a reveal party. Distributing the stone(s) to those who find comfort in having a hand held token of your loved one. Other options are available such as Celestis space flights, coral reef placements, etc. Whatever your legacy we strive to make the most of it.
DNA Banking
Studying your family’s DNA may assist doctors in determining which treatment plans will work best for you, and which ones will be ineffective. This technology is already being used to determine the tolerance, optimal dosage level and effectivity of drugs used in heart disease and cancer patients.
