Give the
Gift of Life
You and your family might be
contacted by a member of the Indiana Donation Alliance and
asked to consider donation as a possible last act for your
loved one. Depending on your situation, you may be
offered the option to consent to the donation of various
organs, tissues, eyes or corneas.
- Organ and tissue/eye donation is, in essence, a gift of life. Each tissue is extremely valuable to the recipient.
- The donation will not delay the funeral or memorial services and will still allow for open casket viewing if desired.
- Your family will not incur any additional medical costs because of donation.
Every year, families are offered the opportunity to give
the gift of life through donation. We understand the
decision to donate is a difficult and personal choice. One
which often needs to be made at a time when the family is
experiencing a traumatic loss. We encourage you to
discuss this topic with your family and loved ones.
