 Frequently Asked Questions

For those already considering cremation Life Quest Anatomical's whole body donation program is an excellent fit. The cost of cremation is covered when you donate your body to support medical education and research through body donation. While cremation is on the rise as a means of final disposition, it is also becoming more expensive. Currently, they are still considerably less in cost than a burial however. And with our whole body donor program the only expense you and your family will incur is the cost of paperwork. If you do some research you will find costs vary in range from direct cremation at around $1800 to a full service upwards of around $5000. Since the cost continues to rise as so many things do these days, a free cremation service with whole body donation seems like a smart choice. While we are not a cremation center we work with licensed crematories to provide the services we offer. A simple registration process, no cost service and cremated remains returned to the family are just a few of the things your Life Quest Anatomical representative will manage for you and your family. Our process is easily the simplest around because we do all of the work for you and your family. Again, at no cost.

With cremation prices being so high and the need for body donors to support medical sciences so critical, the lasting impact of whole body donation makes so much sense. So please do look at all of your options. There is high cost cremation, low cost cremation and then there is free cremation. We are sure you will agree that while low cost is pretty good, a free service is hard to beat. Cremation prices are always covered by Life Quest Anatomical when donating your body to science.

Here's how Life Quest Anatomical's free cremation service works:

  • Donor registers prior to passing or family contacts LQA when the donor is close to passing or has already passed.
  • A Life Quest Anatomical representative arranges donation, local transportation and air transportation to our facility. They also manage paperwork and care for the donor and their family all the way to the return of cremated remains to the family, usually within 30 days. The cost of cremation is covered by our program.
  • The donor arrives at our facility and is placed with a program for medical research and or education based on their specific medical history. The anatomical gift is utilized by leading medical educators and researchers in medical schools and teaching hospitals around the country. Life Quest Anatomical is responsible for the care of the body donor throughout the process and ensures that dignified, respectful care is the standard that is upheld throughout the entire process.
  • Our free cremation services are arranged and carried out after the donor has been matched up with several medical research and medical education projects at medical schools, teaching hospitals and research institutions.
  • Cremated remains are returned to the family in about 30 days. We recommend the family contact a reputable funeral home in their area to select an urn as a final resting place for the cremated remains. We also have resources on our links page that may be of great use to you and your family.

Life Quest Anatomical's free cremation service is a streamlined process designed to assist families with the registration process, the paperwork, and in assuring the cremation is carried out and cremated remains are returned to the family with no expense and with great dignity and respect for the donor and their family.
