Re: Medical Research.
My mother left her body for research at the University.Very long story, which I think I've related before.
The only slight hiccup to the proceedings, which I was worried about as mum was always adamant she wanted it to happen, was that when the University viewed her body in hospital, there was some discussion whether to accept it. Can't remember all the details, think it might have been to do with gangrene in her leg, but don't quote me on that.
Suffice to say, it all went ahead and it was wonderful. All departments were very respectful, two wonderful services at the cathedral, one after receiving the body and one returning the body after they had finished with it (sounds awful 'finished with it', but I can't think of better wording.
Brain not in gear). They even organised the cremation, if the family wished. All very very respectful and caring towards family members too.
All very moving. She would've been made up it all came to fruition and that in some way, she'd helped medical research.
