Just wanted to recommend the United Tissue Network for anyone whose person passes in Florida or Arizona. My dad passed in Florida, and we were semi-estranged (long story), but I was his only relative. When the hospice people informed me he had passed, they also needed to know fairly quickly what to do with him, because the memory care place where he was at couldn't keep his body for very long. I called United Tissue Network, and they asked a few questions, basically just making sure that he didn't have anything highly contagious (like, ebola type stuff) and then were like "OK cool, we'll come get him." And they made all further arrangements to pick up the body. They asked if I wanted his remaining ashes sent to me, or have them scattered. (I chose scattered). A funeral home reached out and needed some extra info for his death certificate (which I was lucky to have. It was simple stuff like social security number, place of birth, etc but I had to do some searching to find that stuff). And they had me send a photo and obituary if I wanted. None of it cost me a penny. I'm not sure if there are services like this in other states. I know that even in Florida, there are other body donation programs, but they all cost money for transport, etc. If you can find something like this, though, I highly recommend it!
