SLU Honors Body Donors
About 1500 family members and friends of people who donated their bodies to Saint Louis University School of Medicine, honored and paid tribute to them at the Gift Body Memorial Service on Friday, Nov. 16 at the Saint Francis Xavier College Church.



At the time the body is received, the family will have an opportunity to submit a memorial post.

Example Memorial Post:

Mary Smith passed away on April 15th, 2015.  She was born and raised in St. Louis where she raised 5 children with her husband Peter.  Both Mary and Peter attended St. Louis University.  Mary studied nursing while Peter received his MD.  Their passion for medicine and helping others was what they both lived to do. Mary decided to donate her body to the Gift Body Program because she knew how important it was for medical students and doctors to be able to have access to resources like this.  Her children and great grandchildren are all proud of Mary’s wish to donate her body and are inspired to do the same when they pass away.
