What Happens After Donating a Body to Science in Henderson
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.
