Procedures to Follow at the Time of Death

At the time of death, preregistered or not, the person responsible for making final arrangements should immediately contact the Tufts University Anatomical Gift Program at 617-636-0837.

If the donation is accepted, Tufts Anatomical Gift Program will work with your funeral home to arrange transportation to the school and secure the necessary paperwork. Tufts University will pay a stipend approved by the university to the providing funeral home. Any expenses incurred beyond the stipend is the responsibility of the family or estate.
