Information For Hospice
and Professional Caregivers

Those who wish to register as a DonorCure whole body donor before they are terminally ill may register using our online registration form. However, individuals close to passing need to call us directly to begin the registration process.

If your patient or loved one wasn’t able to register as a whole body donor while alive, they can still become one upon death. Be sure to contact DonorCure at once to determine the donor’s eligibility. The earlier you coordinate with us, the higher the chance of acceptance is. The same also applies to patients who are currently in the hospital and are close to passing. Donation Coordinators are available 24 hours a day to assist in the completion and submission of necessary consent documentation.

Donors who are capable of signing the consent forms themselves should immediately do so and submit them to our Donation Coordinators.

A donor’s health agent legally appointed by a Health Care Power of Attorney (HPOA) can also sign the consent forms on their behalf should they be unable to do so. Since HPOA requirements for whole body donation can be very specific, make sure to submit the HPOA documents over to us for review before the consent forms are signed.

In the absence of a valid HPOA,  the consent forms will need to be signed by the deceased donor’s legal next of kin.

Once a whole body donor gets accepted, DonorCure assumes all expenses incidental to the donation process. From the transportation arrangements to paying for the certified copy of the death certificate and cremation, we got it covered. We also take care of the cost of returning the cremated remains to the family or scattering it at sea.
