FUNERAL DIRECIOR<br />

ORGAN DONATIONS<br />

Thanks to the miracles of<br />

modern medical science,<br />

healthy organs from the<br />

body of a deceased person<br />

can be successfully transinnted<br />

to help restore the<br />

ealth of a living person<br />

These commonly include<br />

kidneys, corneas, hearts,<br />

livers, <strong>and</strong> skin<br />

The declsion to make<br />

such a donation is, of<br />

course, a personal one. It<br />

might be well to add, however,<br />

that virtually all religions<br />

in the United States<br />

have no restrictions in<br />

regard to the donation o1<br />

organS lo help another pa.<br />

tient regain his or her<br />

health.<br />

One should also keep in<br />

mind that the donation of<br />

an organ in no way modities<br />

one's funeral arrangemeats.<br />

The removal of the<br />

organ is carried out in an<br />

operating room by a team<br />

of surgecns <strong>and</strong> nurses <strong>for</strong><br />

transplantation to the recipient<br />

Then, after a brief<br />

st-mortem, the body can<br />

transferred to the<br />

funeral home <strong>and</strong> the decedent's<br />

wishes carried out<br />

as specified <strong>and</strong> desired.<br />
