Additional Resources
State Anatomy Board: 410-547-1222
The State Anatomy Board uses a body that has been donated for the purpose
of medical research and education.
The Anatomy Board assumes immediate custody of the body, so there cannot
be a funeral service with the body present. However, the family may elect
to have a memorial service at any time.
The individual must pre-register to have his or her body donated. Next-of-kin
or medical power of attorney
cannot register for another person.
Cremains can be interred at a dedicated gravesite in Sykesville, MD. If
they are returned to family, the cremains may not be very complete, and
it may take over a yea. Cremation is paid for by the State Anatomy Board.
Anatomy Gift Registry: 800-300-5433
The Anatomy Gift Registry uses tissue for the purpose of medical study.
Similarly to the Anatomy Board, the Gift Registry assumes custody of the
body upon death. Again, the body cannot be present for a funeral service
but the family can have a memorial service at any time. Registry may be
by the individual, and also by next-of-kin, before or after death. Cremains
are returned to next-of-kin, sometimes within a month. Cremation is paid
for by the Anatomy Gift Registry.
Emergency Assistance: 301-600-2417
Limited funds are available through Dept. of Social Services to cover funeral
or cremation costs under very specific circumstances. Recipients must
apply for eligibility. Do not make funeral arrangements with a funeral
home prior to calling DSS. DSS address: 100 East All Saints St. in Frederick.
Crossings: Caring for Our Own at Death: 301-593-5451, or http://crossings.net

in all states.
