You donate your body, your survivors have to pay to have the body prepared and shipped to the closest facility that accepts them, then they distribute the bodies wherever they want to.

So even though there is a medical school and a College of Criminology and Criminal Justice at FSU here in Tallahassee, I can't specify that my body go there. It has to be shipped to Gainesville, then they decide where it is to go.

Check the system in your state - it might be different, but I have decided the way it is set up here, I will not be donating my body.
