My wife and son did these ceremonies for the people in the cadaver lab,
they are treated very seriously and very considerately, and the students
learn to appreciate them too, having carved up the bodies. It is kind
of a humbling experience and makes the bodies more "human" after they
are done.

It’s a really cool thing that they do - once a year they have a
non-denominational memorial service for all the families of the donors on
campus that is mandatory for all first year medical students to attend. Then
they take the cremains to Crown Hill and inter them in an area set aside for
those who have donated their bodies to science and hold a graveside ceremony as
well. really nice way to memorialize these folks and honor the families as
well.

Winston Churchill:
“Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or
petty,
never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the
enemy.”
