Its quite easy, just contact the med school of your choice.
Dad was very found of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
He died in Columbus ( Grant hospital), so it took them a couple hours to drive up tp get him.
The hospital was very accommodating, they allowed us to sit with him in his room while we waited.
The only twist was dad didnt want him remains to be returned. Something about him not wanting to sit in an urn on someones mantle or be tucked in a closet somewhere. So he was interned in OUs cemetery as a cherished donor to the school.
No muss, no fuss. And absolutely no expense.
We had a celebration at his church and all his friends got up to tell stories about him. Our cousin kicked the event off by performing at dads request The Statler Brothers Counting flowers on the wall His all time favorite song.
