Disposition & Internment
Donated bodies are studied in medical schools for typically up to two years, but may be longer. Please feel free to call the Association at any time to determine the status of the donor and when you may expect the ashes to be returned. After the benefit is complete, the school will have the body cremated according to the laws and regulations of the State of Illinois.

Cremains will be returned to the family without charge if advance arrangements are made.
If the family does not request the cremains be returned, the AGA will assume responsibility for disposition and will inter the ashes at a local cemetery.
