  • Similar to making prearrangements with a funeral home, donors may preregister with the Anatomical Gifts Program at Tufts University.

    Preregistration Form

    Whether or not the decedent is accepted into the program will be contingent on the factors described here.

    There are several advantages to preregistration. Among these are:

    • Relieving the stress and pressure on the family
    • Ensuring that your personal intentions are met
    • Reducing and eliminating the financial burden of traditional funeral expenses
    • Feeling comfort in knowing that the decision to donate will impact the medical community for years to come

    Upon receipt of your donor forms, a member of the Anatomical Gift Program (AGP) will contact you to confirm the information and answer any additional questions you may have.

  • Often, family members have not discussed their final wishes with loved ones prior to death. That does not mean that they are no longer qualified to become a donor to the Tufts University Anatomical Gift Program.

    Family members who wish to have their loved one donated to the program can initiate the process at the time of death.

    Please see the form for donations made by next of kin.
