My dad did whole body donation. I contacted them back in June and asked for information on what my dad's body went to. What did he help? Where did he go?
I finally got a letter from the facility. I already knew from his death certificate he was sent to St. Louis. I found out that during the 8 weeks they had his body they used him for surgical purposes. They did a shoulder surgery and a hip replacement.
So there you have it. He helped someone or a lot of someones. His body was too cancer ridden to do organ donation but he will help someone, someday. Might be a baseball player, or maybe your grandpa. But dad's whole body donation helped someone and times like now...it makes me smile.
Miss you dad.
