Which is the most appropriate end of life option for someone who has chosen to be an organ donor?

Cremation
Cremation has grown to be the most common end-of-life choice, offering a variety of options for final disposition. Remains are placed in an urn, interred in a tomb or mausoleum, or scattered over a favorite place.

Which are the organs that Cannot be donated during lifetime?

The decision to donate organs is based on strict medical criteria, not age. Tissues such as cornea, heart valves, skin, and bone can be donated in case of natural death but vital organs such as heart, liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, and pancreas can be donated only in the case of ‘brain death’.

Which one whole organ can you donate and still live a healthy life without it?

There are some organs you can give up all or part of without having long-term health issues. You can donate a whole kidney, or part of the pancreas, intestine, liver, or lung. Your body will compensate for the missing organ or organ part.

Do organ donors get free cremation?

The organ donation choice is usually indicated on a driver license. However, organ donors do not automatically get a free cremation. Free cremation is offered to those who register to donate the entire body to science, not simply agree to allow the harvesting of life-saving organs at time of death.

Are you cremated after organ donation?

Yes – in fact, organ or tissue donation will not affect ceremony or disposition options in any way. Funeral services for organ donors may be held either before or after cremation occurs and most even include open casket ceremonies. Like anyone choosing cremation, your options are only limited by your imagination.
