Our funeral home experience includes all the duties as a funeral director and embalmer. These duties included making arrangements with the survivors, taking services to church and cemetery or crematory, embalming and preparations of decedents for visitations and services and much more.
Our experience and knowledge regarding body donation and our work at the funeral home make us a great resource for anyone inquiring about body donation and in dealing with a funeral home. Please do not hesitate to contact either of us for any questions or concerns you may have.
For after hours and on weekends, the best way to reach the Donor Program is via email: bodydonorprogram@wustl.edu.
