Donor Registration Packets

Completion of the consent forms in the donor registration packet is required for enrollment into the Willed Body Program.  The document of gift must be witnessed by two persons or notarized by a duly authorized California Notary Public.  Prior to death, a person can self-register.  After death, a legally authorized representative (family or agent) may be able to authorize donation.

The university reserves the right to accept or reject an anatomical gift as set forth by health and safety codes.

Unless provided in the donor’s will, the family or estate of the donor may decline to assume the financial responsibility of transportation from outside the 200-mile transportation radius.  If this occurs, the Willed Body Program may relinquish all claims to the body.  It is important to be aware of donation limitations and ensure the surviving family member or friend  is aware of the donors’ alternate disposition plans.
