What Is Whole-Body Donation?

Whole-body donation is the gift of one’s body, after death, to medical research and education. For Las Vegas, that gift helps future physicians learn anatomy firsthand, helps surgeons refine the procedures that save lives, and helps researchers study the diseases that touch so many families across the Valley.

What Happens After Donating a Body to Science in Las Vegas

Once a donation is approved, UTN works with local Nevada organ donation organizations so that any organs suitable for transplant are used first. The donor is then cared for by a trusted UTN partner facility for medical research and education. When that work concludes, UTN arranges cremation and returns the ashes to the family at no cost, typically within four to six weeks.
