MEMORIAL SERVICE
FOR
ANATOMICAL DONATION
Once a year in early spring, a non-denominational interment service is held at the Medical College of Georgia Cinerarium for donors whose bodies were generously donated for study at the Medical College of Georgia.
The memorial service is conducted jointly by the students, faculty, and chaplains from the schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Allied Health, and Nursing with the donors’ families and friends as our honored guests.
The Memorial Service provides an opportunity for the students to honor and show their appreciation to the donors for making their bodies available for study and research. It is only through the physical study of the human body that we can gain the basic information essential to the education of future health care professionals
