What to Know About Whole Body Donation in Miami, FL

Donating your body through UTN is simple. If you are 18 years or older, there is no upper age limit to who can donate their body to science in Miami, FL. All you need to do is contact UTN and we will send you some simple paperwork to fill out. Once you have been approved, we will send you a Donor Pledge identification card indicating your registration is complete.

After being approved, you will also be issued a Donor Security Certificate. This acts as our promise to you that, when you pass on, UTN will honor its agreement to take your body regardless of any changes in your medical history that may have occurred since initial approval. This includes any infectious diseases that might disqualify an individual from having their tissue donated to medical schools and research institutions. 

If a loved one has already entered the end-of-life stage, or if someone they already passed on, don’t worry; it’s not too late to honor their wishes. Those who have a prognosis of six months or less can still contact UTN directly or through an intermediary to get pre-approved for donation. Likewise, any legally authorized relative, friend, or guardian of someone who has already passed can contact UTN on their behalf and arrange to donate the body to science in Miami, FL.
